How it works
How the Tip Calculator and Bill Split works
Quick answer: A 20% tip on an $86 bill is $17.20, making the total $103.20. Split two ways, each person pays $51.60.
Formula
Tip = bill × tip % ÷ 100
Each person = (bill + tip) ÷ number of peopleThe tip is calculated on the amount you enter, so enter the pre-tax subtotal if you prefer to tip before tax.
