Tip Calculator figures the tip amount and a fair per-person share when a group splits a restaurant or delivery bill.
Enter the bill, tip percent, and headcount so nobody is stuck doing percent math after dessert.
Defaults sit near 15% tip; raise or lower for local customs, service level, or places where service charge is already included. Decide before calculating whether tax sits inside the tip base.
