How It Works

The tip amount is calculated by multiplying the bill by the tip percentage divided by 100. This amount is then added to the original bill to give the total amount. To find the cost per person, the totals are divided by the number of people.

Example Calculation

If your bill is $50 and you want to leave a 20% tip:
Tip = $50 * (20 / 100) = $10
Total Bill = $50 + $10 = $60
If split between 2 people, each person pays $30.
