Frequently asked questions
Should I tip on the pre-tax or after-tax amount?
Practices vary. This calculator supports either basis so you can apply the convention you prefer.
Does the calculator choose an appropriate tip percentage?
No. It only calculates the percentage you enter; tipping customs depend on location and situation.
How does splitting work?
The grand total is divided equally by the number of people unless you enable per-person rounding.
What does round up do?
It rounds each person’s share upward to a selected increment, so the rounded group total may be slightly above the exact bill total.
Can I use any currency?
Yes. The arithmetic is currency-neutral as long as every monetary input uses the same currency.
Does the tip calculator run locally?
Yes. Calculations run in your browser, and recent calculation history is stored locally in that browser.
Can I copy or download the result?
Yes. Use the built-in copy, text download, and print controls for the current result and calculation steps.
