Tip Calculator
A Tip Calculator is a tool that helps calculate the amount of gratuity (tip) to leave for a service, such as at a restaurant, and determines the total bill after adding the tip.
What a Tip Calculator Does
A tip calculator can:
- Calculate a tip based on a percentage of the bill
- Show the total amount to pay
- Split the bill among multiple people
- Compare different tip percentages
Basic Formula
Tip Amount = Bill Amount × Tip Percentage
Total Bill = Bill Amount + Tip Amount
Example
Suppose your restaurant bill is $80 and you want to leave a 20% tip.
Tip Amount:
- $80 × 20% = $16
Total Bill:
- $80 + $16 = $96
Common Tip Percentages
| Service Quality | Typical Tip |
|---|---|
| Basic Service | 10%–15% |
| Good Service | 15%–20% |
| Excellent Service | 20%–25%+ |
Splitting the Bill
If the total bill with tip is $96 and there are 4 people:
- $96 ÷ 4 = $24 per person
