Basics
How tip calculation works
Bill amount
The bill amount is the base restaurant or service charge before optional tax and tip settings.
Tip percentage
The tip percentage determines how much extra is added to the selected tip base.
Total bill
Total bill includes bill amount, tax, service charge, and calculated tip.
Per-person split
Per-person total divides the final bill by the number of people.
Comparison
Tipping before tax vs after tax
Tip before tax
Uses the bill subtotal before tax as the tip base. Some people prefer this because tax is not part of service cost.
Tip after tax
Uses bill plus tax as the tip base. This often produces a slightly higher tip when tax is entered.
Formula
Tip formula explanation
Tip amount
Tip = Tip Base × Tip PercentageThe tip base is either the bill before tax or the bill plus tax, depending on your selection.
Total bill
Total = Bill + Tax + Service Charge + TipThis is the final amount to pay before splitting between people.
Per-person amount
Per Person = Total ÷ Number of PeopleThis divides the total bill evenly across the number of people entered.
