FAQs

Should I tip on pre-tax?

Adjust the bill amount if you prefer tipping on pre-tax totals.

What if auto-gratuity is included?

Set tip % to 0 or reduce it accordingly so you don’t double tip.

How do I handle uneven splits?

This calculator splits evenly. For uneven splits, adjust the split count or settle individually.

Can I add tax separately?

Enter the total including tax if you want to tip on tax; otherwise, use pre-tax amount.

How do I round for cash?

Round the per-person total up to the nearest convenient amount and adjust the tip slightly to match.
