How the tip is calculated

We use the simple, standard formulas:

  • Tip = Base × (Tip% / 100), where Base is either the full bill or the pre-tax subtotal (your choice).
  • Total = Bill + Tax + Tip.
  • Per Person = Total / People.

Everything runs locally in your browser; no data is uploaded or stored.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I tip before tax?

Enable “Add tax” and leave “Exclude tax from tip” checked. The tip will be applied to the pre-tax subtotal.

What do the rounding options do?

They tidy up either the tip, the total, or each person’s share. We recompute dependent values to keep things balanced.
