Tipflation is real. The minimum tip on Square checkouts went from 15% to 25% in three years, and now your sandwich shop wants 20% for handing you a bag. Worse, restaurants are quietly adding "service fees", "kitchen appreciation", "wellness surcharge", and auto-gratuity directly to the bill — so you end up tipping twice on the same dinner. No Tipflation is the tip calculator that puts you back in control. It calculates your tip on the PRE-TAX subtotal, catches the hidden service charges most apps ignore, and warns you before you double-tip. WHY PRE-TAX TIPPING? The waiter didn't cook your sales tax. Why are you tipping on it? On a $100 dinner with 8.875% sales tax, tipping 20% on the post-tax total costs you $1.78 more than tipping pre-tax. Multiply that across every dinner, every year. That's the quiet math No Tipflation puts in your pocket. THE HIDDEN-FEE CATCHER We detect 30+ kinds of charges restaurants now bake into the bill: service charge, mandatory gratuity, auto-gratuity, kitchen fee, wellness surcharge, living wage, equity fee, healthcare surcharge, "% Fee" patterns, admin fee, hospitality fee, and the long tail of regional surcharges. When your receipt already includes gratuity, a bold "Already tipped" warning lands on the result — so you don't pay twice for the same service. WHAT IT DOES • Calculates tip on the pre-tax subtotal (the whole point) • Quick 12% / 15% / 20% buttons + custom percentage • Splits the bill 1–20 ways, evenly • Built-in receipt scanner — live preview plus tap-to-capture for crisper photos • Receipt math validation — flags OCR mistakes and suggests one-tap fixes when subtotal + tax + service ≠ total • Detects post-tax tip prompts on most major POS systems and warns you • "Already charged a service fee?" disclosure to manually mark a fee the OCR missed • Home screen widget for one-tap access • Remembers your preferred tip percentage • Works fully offline — your data never leaves your phone • Share your tip math as an image — the receipt photo, your numbers, and the "tip on subtotal, not tax" reminder, in one shareable card DESIGNED FOR REAL DINNERS Open the app, point your camera at the check, tap the shutter, glance at the auto-filled amounts, pick your tip, hand the phone to whoever's splitting. Done in fifteen seconds. No accounts, no sign-ups, no upsells. NOT JUST A TIP CALCULATOR - Use it as a sales tax calculator - Use it as a bill splitter at group dinners - Use it as a discount or percentage calculator - Use it as a quick fairness check on after-tax checkout prompts PRIVACY All receipt scanning runs on-device using Apple's Vision framework.
