Questions
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Etiquette guides usually say pre-tax, but many people tip on the total. The difference is small: on a $60 bill with 8% tax, 20% is $12.00 pre-tax or $12.96 after tax.
How do I split a tip?
Add the tip to the bill and divide by the number of people. The calculator does this and can round each share up.
