Tip-calculator questions.
Should I tip on the pre-tax amount?
Many people calculate a tip from the pre-tax subtotal, while others use the final bill. This tool supports both approaches.
Does splitting change the tip?
No. The calculator determines the total tip and bill first, then divides the complete amount by the number of people.
What does rounding up do?
It rounds each person's final share to the next whole dollar. The page shows how much this adds to the group's combined payment.
Does HandyPebble know what I spent?
No. The bill math runs in your browser and there is no account or server-side bill history.
