How to use

  1. Enter the subtotal you intend to tip on (often pre-tax, pre-service charge).
  2. Pick a tip percent (15%, 18%, 20%) or type a custom percentage.
  3. Optionally enter party size to see per-person totals with tip.
  4. Add fixed-amount tips if the tool supports both percent and flat gratuity.
  5. Round up for cash convenience if you like—mentally adjust from the exact number.
  6. Remember delivery and takeout may follow different customs than dine-in.
