How to give a tip without using 'Keep the change' [closed]

I am occasionally in the same situation when I want to tip a taxi driver.

Converting to your problem, I would say:

Make it 4 pounds.

or if that is not clear:

Make it 4 pounds and keep the difference.

This is in my country (Australia) where tipping is uncommon, however.

Edit:

Thinking about it even more, sometimes I add the word "Just" to the front of the sentence. Not sure why.


An equivalent would be: "Just 6£ back is fine."

Sometimes it takes the driver/bartender a moment to realize what you're saying and that you're not trying to cheat them, though.
