What is a Tip Calculator?
A tip calculator is a simple tool that helps you determine how much to tip for services based on your bill amount and desired tip percentage. It can also split the total bill among multiple people, making it convenient for group dining or shared services.
When to Use a Tip Calculator
A tip calculator is useful in several situations:
- Dining at restaurants when you want to quickly calculate an appropriate tip
- Splitting bills among friends or colleagues during group outings
- Determining fair payment amounts for shared services like food delivery or taxi rides
How to Calculate Tips
The basic formulas for tip calculations are:
Tip Amount = Bill Amount × (Tip Percentage ÷ 100)
Total Amount = Bill Amount + Tip Amount
Tip Per Person = Tip Amount ÷ Number of People
Total Per Person = Total Amount ÷ Number of People
