How to Use the Tip Calculator
Tipping is a usual part of every day, whether it be dining in a restaurant, ordering food delivery, staying in a hotel, or personal services with salons and using a taxi.

The Tip Calculator takes that guesswork away. It's designed to let you know how much of a gratuity is appropriate, split the total bill evenly among multiple people, and know exactly how much each person should pay.
