Question 1

How is the tip calculated?

Accepted Answer

Tip is calculated as: bill amount × (tip percentage ÷ 100). The grand total is bill + tip, and per-person amount is grand total ÷ number of people.

Question 2

Can I split the bill between multiple people?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Enter the number of people splitting the bill, and the calculator automatically shows how much each person owes, including their share of the tip.

Question 3

Do you round the final amounts?

Accepted Answer

We display amounts to two decimal places for accuracy. You can round manually when paying if needed, or use the displayed amount for exact splits.

Question 4

Can I calculate tip on the pre-tax amount?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Simply enter your pre-tax subtotal as the bill amount. Some people prefer tipping on pre-tax amounts, especially in areas with high sales tax.

Question 5

What tip percentage should I use?

Accepted Answer

Common standards are 15-20% for good service, 20%+ for excellent service, and 10-15% for basic service. Adjust based on your location and service quality.
