How to use

- Pick a tip percentage from the presets or type a custom one.
- Set how many people are splitting the bill.
- Read the tip amount, total, and per-person split instantly.
When to use it
Splitting dinner with friends and want it fair? Say the bill is $86.40 and you want to leave 18% across four people. Enter 86.40, pick 18%, set people to 4, and you instantly get a $15.55 tip, a $101.95 total, and $25.49 each, so nobody has to do the math at the table.

What is a fair tip percentage?
