## What is Tip Calculator?

Whether you're rounding up at a Berlin café, tipping 20% in New York, or politely declining in Tokyo — BillTip tells you what locals actually expect. Built for travelers who care about getting it right.

WHAT MAKES BILLTIP DIFFERENT

— Cultural awareness, not just math —
82 countries with local tipping etiquette baked in. Per-category recommendations for restaurants, taxis, hotels, porters, tour guides, and salons. A four-level service-quality rating maps to country-specific percentages, so you never have to guess what's appropriate.

— Live Activity on the Lock Screen —
Your total stays visible on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island while you finish the meal. No more fumbling for an unlocked phone at the moment of payment.

— Travel Log built right in —
Automatic trip detection groups your stops by country and date, including multi-country roadtrips. Multi-currency totals stay properly separate. Per-category insights show where your money actually went. Export trips as PDF or CSV for expense reports.

— Siri, Spotlight, and Shortcuts —
"Hey Siri, calculate tip with BillTip." Or pull down Spotlight and tap the action. Or wire it into your Shortcuts automation.
