About the Tip Calculator
What is the Tip Calculator?
A tip calculator figures out the gratuity, the total bill and how much each person owes when splitting.
Why use this calculator?
Working out a tip and dividing a bill fairly is quicker and less awkward with a calculator.
How to use it

Formula
Tip = bill × tip% ÷ 100; total = bill + tip; per person = total ÷ people.
Common US tips are 15–20% for table service and 20% for excellent service.
