How does the calculator determine the tip amount?+
It multiplies the pre-tip bill total by the tip percentage you choose, and depending on the setting, calculates that percentage from the subtotal before tax or from the total after tax.
Should tip be calculated on the pre-tax or post-tax total?+
Etiquette generally favors tipping on the pre-tax subtotal, since tax isn't part of the service being tipped for, though many people simplify by tipping on the full receipt total, which results in a slightly larger tip.
How is the amount split evenly among a group?+
The calculator adds the tip to the bill to get the grand total, then divides that total by the number of people specified, giving an equal share for each person regardless of what each individual ordered.
What if people in the group ordered very different amounts?+
An even split isn't fair in that case; a more equitable approach is to calculate each person's share of the subtotal first, then apply the tip percentage to each individual's portion rather than splitting the total equally.
What is a typical tip percentage to use?+
In many places, 15 to 20% for standard table service is common, with 20% or more often considered generous for excellent service, though norms vary by country and type of establishment, so adjust the percentage to match local custom.
