What it does

The Tip Calculator does the calculation everyone runs at the end of dinner: tap a preset (15%, 18%, 20%) or enter a custom percentage, add the number of people, and get the tip, the new total and what each person owes. Built for the twenty seconds between the bill arriving and the group deciding who's paying what — not for a spreadsheet you'll edit later.

How to use it

  1. Enter the total bill amount before tip.
  2. Choose a preset tip percentage (10%, 15%, 20%, 25%) or enter a custom amount.
  3. Enter the number of people splitting the bill (optional).
  4. View the tip amount, total bill including tip, and per-person share.
  5. Adjust the percentage or number of people to find the right amount.

Key features

Why it helps

Most useful when tipping culture is unfamiliar (US-style 18-20% while travelling, or the other way round back home), when the group is bigger than four and mental arithmetic falls apart, and when you want to split the tip fairly without one person doing the sums for everyone. Enter the pre-tax amount if you want the traditional calculation; the post-tax amount if you'd rather round up and move on.
