Question 1

How is the tip amount calculated?

Accepted Answer

Tip = Bill × Tip% ÷ 100. The total is Bill + Tip. For per-person values, both the bill and the tip are divided equally by the number of people — each person pays the same share of both.

Question 2

Can I enter 0% tip?

Accepted Answer

Yes — 0% is a valid tip percentage. The tip amount is zero, and each person's total equals their equal share of the original bill.

Question 3

Why must the number of people be a whole number?

Accepted Answer

You cannot split a bill among 2.5 people. The calculator requires a positive integer — 1, 2, 3, and so on. Fractional values are rejected as invalid input.

Question 4

How is the per-person total calculated?

Accepted Answer

Per-person total = (Bill + Tip) ÷ Number of people. Both the pre-tip amount and the tip are divided equally — it is not just the tip that gets split.

Question 5

What if we each ordered different amounts and want to split fairly?

Accepted Answer

Use the Split Bill Calculator instead. It lets each person enter their own subtotal and splits the tip proportionally — whoever ordered more pays a higher share of the tip.
