Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate a 20% tip?
Multiply the bill by 0.20. For an $80 bill the tip is $16 and the total is $96.
How do I split a bill with a tip?
Enter the number of people. The calculator divides the total, including the tip, equally.
What does rounding up do?
It rounds what each person pays up to the next whole dollar, which slightly increases the tip.
Should I tip on the pre-tax amount?
Many people tip on the pre-tax subtotal, but tipping on the total is also common. Enter whichever amount you prefer.
