Tip Calculation Formula
Tip and total are calculated from bill and percentage:
Total = Bill + Tip Amount
Per Person = Total / Number of People
Example: $50 bill, 18% tip, 4 people: Tip = $50 × 0.18 = $9. Total = $50 + $9 = $59. Per Person = $59 / 4 = $14.75. Standard tip is 15-20%, but adjust based on service quality and local customs.

Tip Amount = Bill × (Tip Percentage / 100). Total = Bill + Tip. Example: $50 bill, 18% tip: Tip = $50 × 0.18 = $9. Total = $50 + $9 = $59. The calculator does this automatically and splits per person if needed.
Should I tip on tax?
Generally, tip on pre-tax amount (subtotal). However, many people tip on total including tax for simplicity. Both are acceptable. Example: $50 subtotal + $4 tax = $54 total. Tip 18% on $50 = $9, or on $54 = $9.72. Difference is usually small.
