## Overview

A 20% tip on a $40 bill is $8.00, for a $48.00 total. The 20% benchmark is the easy mental shortcut: take 10% ($4.00) and double it. Shared between two people, each pays $24.00. Try your own numbers in the calculator below.

## Method

Tip = bill × tipPercent ÷ 100. Total = bill + tip (then raised to the next whole number if "round up" is active). Per person = total ÷ numberOfPeople. Tip per person = tip ÷ numberOfPeople. All intermediate values are rounded to two decimal places; the round-up step, when active, applies to the combined total before the per-person division.
