How the Tip Calculator Works

The tool uses the standard tip calculation formula:

Tip Amount Formula

$$\text{Tip Amount} = \frac{\text{Bill} \times \text{Tip Percentage}}{100}$$Tip Amount=100Bill×Tip Percentage​

Total Bill Formula

$$\text{Total} = \text{Bill} + \text{Tip Amount}$$Total=Bill+Tip Amount

Per Person Formula

$$\text{Per Person} = \frac{\text{Total}}{\text{Number of People}}$$Per Person=Number of PeopleTotal​

This ensures accurate results whether you're tipping 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, or any custom percentage.
