## How it works

1. **Tip amount** = bill × (tip% ÷ 100)
2. **Total** = bill + tip amount
3. **Per person** = total ÷ number of people

## Worked example

$100 bill, 20% tip, 4 people:

- Tip = 100 × 0.20 = **$20**
- Total = 100 + 20 = **$120**
- Per person = 120 ÷ 4 = **$30** (of which $5 is tip)

## Notes

This calculator assumes an even split. In practice, people often round up to the nearest dollar per person to avoid dealing with coins — rounding each person's share up by $0.50–$1 is a common convention that slightly over-tips, which is usually welcome.

## Frequently asked questions

### How is the per-person amount calculated?

Total = bill + (bill × tip%). Each person pays total ÷ number of people.

### How do I split unevenly?

This calculator splits evenly. For uneven splits, use the per-person totals as starting points and adjust manually — or have one person pay the full total and collect from others.

### What is a standard tip percentage?

In the US, 15% is the traditional minimum, 18–20% is now common for good service, and 25% or more for exceptional service. Takeout and counter service typically warrants 10–15%.
