What Is Tip?
A tip calculator is a simple tool that helps you determine how much gratuity to leave for a service. Tipping is customary in many countries, particularly in the United States, where service workers rely on tips as a significant part of their income.
This calculator goes beyond a basic tip calculation by also splitting the bill among multiple people, making it ideal for group dining, rideshares, or any shared service expense.
Formula & Methodology
The formulas are simple:
- Tip Amount = Bill Amount × (Tip Percentage / 100)
- Total with Tip = Bill Amount + Tip Amount
- Per Person Total = Total with Tip / Number of People
- Per Person Tip = Tip Amount / Number of People
Practical Examples
Example 1: A $50 bill with an 18% tip: Tip = $50 × 0.18 = $9.00. Total = $59.00.
Example 2: A $120 bill with a 20% tip split among 4 people: Tip = $24.00. Total = $144.00. Per person = $36.00. Per person tip = $6.00.
