How to use the tip calculator
Enter the pre-tax bill, choose a tip percentage, and split among any number of people. Use the quick presets or drag the slider for fine-grained adjustment.
Formula & explanation
Tip = bill × (tip% ÷ 100). Total = bill + tip. Per person = total ÷ people.
Examples
A 60 bill with 18% tip totals 70.80 — split between 2 people, that's 35.40 each.
