How does the Tip Calculator work?

A tip is an extra payment for service, usually a percentage of the bill. The formula is Tip = Bill × tip% / 100, and the total is Bill + Tip.

To split the bill, divide the total by the number of people. For example, an $85 bill with an 18% tip is $85 + $15.30 = $100.30, or $50.15 each for two people. Many Americans tip on the pre-tax amount.
