Frequently Asked Questions
How is the tip amount calculated?
Tip = Bill Amount x (Tip % / 100). The total bill is Bill + Tip, and per-person amounts divide the total by the number of people.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Either is acceptable. Tipping on the pre-tax subtotal is more technically correct, but tipping on the total after tax is common and simpler. Enter whichever amount you prefer.
