How to Use a Tip Calculator: A Quick Guide
In the past, splitting a restaurant bill required you to take out a pen and perform mental calculations while everyone looked at you. No more.
In the first field, enter the pre-tax total, which includes only the food and beverages before taxes are applied. Next, decide on a tip percentage.
The most popular options are covered by the presets: 10% for mediocre service, 15–18% for good service, and 20–25% when the waiter truly brightened your evening. Uncertain? You will not often be incorrect if you choose 18%. The custom field is available if you have a specific number in mind.
Enter the number of persons splitting the cost as the final step.
That is all. The arithmetic is simple under the hood:
Tip = Bill × (Tip% ÷ 100) Total = Bill + Tip Each individual pays = Total ÷ Individuals
Thus, a 20% tip on an $80 bill divided four ways: $16 tip, $96 total, $24 per person. Completed in two seconds.
