Introduction
The Tip Calculator helps you calculate the appropriate tip amount to leave for service, as well as the total bill and amount each person owes when splitting the cost.
Understanding the Calculation
The calculator first determines the tip amount by multiplying the bill amount by the chosen tip percentage. The total is simply the bill amount plus this calculated tip. When a number of people are specified, the total amount is divided equally among them.
Tip Calculation Formula
Tip = Bill Amount ร Tip Percentage
Where:
- Tip: The amount to tip
- Bill Amount: Total bill before tip
- Tip Percentage: Desired tip percentage (e.g., 15% = 0.15)
Example: For a $50 bill with 15% tip
Tip = $50 ร 0.15 = $7.50
