Understanding Tipping

Tipping, or gratuity, is a voluntary additional payment made to service workers as a gesture of appreciation for their service. It's common in various sectors such as restaurants, salons, and taxi services.

How It Works

1. Enter Bill Amount: Input the total bill before tip.
2. Rate Your Service: Select the service quality ranging from 5% (Terrible) to 30% (Outstanding).
3. Split the Bill: Decide how many people are sharing the bill to equally distribute the total amount, including the tip.

Formulas

Tip Calculation:

\( \text{Tip Amount} = \text{Bill Amount} \times \text{Tip Percentage} \)

Total Per Person:

\( \text{Total Per Person} = \frac{\text{Bill Amount} + \text{Tip Amount}}{\text{Number of People}} \)

From dining out to personal services and shared expenses, our calculator helps in various tipping scenarios.
