Work out the tip and split the bill in seconds. Enter the bill, choose a tip percent or a flat tip, add how many people are paying, and Tip Calculator shows what everyone owes. • Tip by percent or a flat amount: 15%, 18%, 20% or any rate you like, or a set amount when you'd rather round up. • Split the check: see each person's share of the bill, their tip and their total. • The whole bill at a glance: the tip and the total with tip, right next to each share. • Share the split: send the table everyone's share in one tap. • Your currency: amounts show in the currency of your iPhone's region. • Siri and Shortcuts: say "Split a bill with Tip Calculator" to open it hands-free. • On iPhone and iPad. Restaurants, bars, delivery, taxis, salons: whenever a tip is due or a group bill needs dividing, the answer is one screen away. Made by xNeat, the team behind Calculator+.
