How It Works
The tip calculator multiplies the raw bill subtotal by the tip rate to compute the gratuity amount: $\text{Tip} = \text{Bill} \times \frac{\text{Tip}\%}{100}$. It sums these values for the total bill, then divides by the split count to determine individual shares: $\text{Share} = \frac{\text{Bill} + \text{Tip}}{\text{People}}$.
Formula Used
Total Tip = Bill Subtotal × (Tip Rate % / 100)
This calculates the gratuity amount by multiplying the base cost of the bill by the tip percentage.
Diner Share = (Bill Subtotal + Total Tip) / Number of Diners
This divides the total cost (bill plus tip) evenly among the diners. It assumes all participants split the bill in equal amounts.
Worked Example
Here is a step-by-step example of how these values are calculated:
Bill
$100.00
Tip
18%
People

Result: Tip Amount: `$18.00`. Total Bill: `$118.00`. Total Per Person: `$29.50`.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the tip calculated before or after tax?
Standard etiquette is to calculate the tip amount on the subtotal *before* sales tax has been applied, though many choose to tip on the grand total for simplicity.
How does rounding affect split totals?
Calculations are rounded to the nearest cent ($0.01). Minor penny discrepancies when dividing odd sums are typically absorbed by the payer or rounded up.
