Here are some examples of when it will help you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>When dining with friends, splitting a large bill<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When ordering delivered food, deciding what is a fair delivery tip<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When getting a tattoo, trying to correctly tip your artist<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When paying for service when you are unsure of the correct tipping etiquette.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When you receive a paycheque that contains tips and need to keep track of your pay and total income.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You don&#8217;t have to be a bad mathematician to use a tip calculator; even if you are excel in mathematics, a calculator will save you time and take away any uncertainties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-the-tip-calculator-works\">How the Tip Calculator Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This tool has a couple of easy-to-use inputs, each of which serves a specific purpose:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Bill Amount: <\/strong>Enter the total dollar amount before adding a tip. Generally this amount is written on your receipt.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tip Percentage:<\/strong> Select one of the following percentage options (example: 10%, 15%, 18%, or 20%). The calculator takes care of calculating the dollar amount of the tip.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tip Amount:<\/strong> If you\u2019d prefer to enter a dollar and then determine the percent of the tip based off that, simply enter the dollar amount and the calculator will calculate the percentage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Number of People:<\/strong> If you\u2019re going to share the total with other people, simply enter the number of people that will be sharing the total.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As you enter data into the calculator, you will see instantaneously the amount of the tip, the total amount, and the breakdown per person in addition to being displayed together as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip Formula and How It Is Calculated<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tip Amount from Percentage:<br><p>$$\\text{Tip Amount} = \\text{Bill Amount} \\times \\frac{\\text{Tip Percentage}}{100}$$<\/p><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Total Bill After Tip:<br><p>$$\\text{Total} = \\text{Bill Amount} + \\text{Tip Amount}$$<\/p><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tip Percentage from Amount:<br><p>$$\\text{Tip Percentage} = \\frac{\\text{Tip Amount}}{\\text{Bill Amount}} \\times 100$$<\/p><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Per Person Share:<br><p>$$\\text{Per Person} = \\frac{\\text{Total}}{\\text{Number of People}}$$<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step-by-Step Example<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let us say your restaurant bill is <strong>$85.00<\/strong>, you want to tip <strong>18%<\/strong>, and you are splitting with <strong>3 people<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Calculate the tip amount:<br><p>$$\\text{Tip} = 85.00 \\times \\frac{18}{100} = 85.00 \\times 0.18 = 15.30$$<\/p><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add tip to the bill:<br><p>$$\\text{Total} = 85.00 + 15.30 = 100.30$$<\/p><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Split among 3 people:<br><p>$$\\text{Per Person} = \\frac{100.30}{3} = 33.43$$<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So each person pays <strong>$33.43<\/strong>, which includes their share of the tip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick Reference Table<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a fast tip guide based on a $100 bill:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Tip %<\/th><th>Tip Amount<\/th><th>Total<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>10%<\/td><td>$10.00<\/td><td>$110.00<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>15%<\/td><td>$15.00<\/td><td>$115.00<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>18%<\/td><td>$18.00<\/td><td>$118.00<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>20%<\/td><td>$20.00<\/td><td>$120.00<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>25%<\/td><td>$25.00<\/td><td>$125.00<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-limitations-and-disclaimer\">Limitations and Disclaimer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A couple of things worth mentioning are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>By default, this calculator computes the amount due to tip using pre-tax bill amount. In various locations, there are occasions when people prefer their total amount to include taxes. Either options are valid but use them both in exactly the same manner.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No payment service is connected with this tool; therefore, it is just intended for providing an aid in calculations only.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There are many differences in customs around how much to tip based on the different countries you visit and what type of service you receive. The information provided here was based on the tipping standard for service within the USA; therefore, please observe the local customs whenever you travel outside of the United States.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Results will be rounded off to two fractional places. Amounts may also differ by a few cents because of rounding done at the point of sale.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The goal of this tool is to help people to tip, not to determine how much someone must tip. Whatever amount you choose to tip will be determined by the service provided to you. You can use these numbers as a reference if you want, but you do not have to follow them explicitly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who Needs a Tip Calculator A tip calculator helps anyone who frequently tips.
