Happy Tip makes tipping and bill splitting simple. Enter your bill, choose a tip percentage, split among friends, and get accurate per-person totals — all in under 5 seconds. **SMART TIP CALCULATOR** Slide to set any tip from 0% to 30%, or tap a preset (10%, 15%, 18%, 20%) for one-touch entry. The tip amount and total update in real time as you type. **TAX-AWARE CALCULATIONS** Enter tax separately so your tip is calculated on the pre-tax amount — the way it should be. No more guessing or over-tipping on tax. **SPLIT BILLS INSTANTLY** Dining with a group? Split the total among up to 99 people. Each person's share — including their portion of the tip — is displayed clearly. **DESIGNED FOR RESTAURANTS** Large tap targets, clean layout, and full functionality in portrait mode mean you can calculate quickly in any lighting. Haptic feedback confirms every interaction. **BUILT FOR ACCESSIBILITY** Full VoiceOver support with descriptive labels and hints on every control. Happy Tip is usable by everyone. **PRIVACY FIRST** All calculations happen on your device. No data is collected, stored, or transmitted. No internet connection needed. Ever. **USE IT ANYWHERE** • Restaurant dining & bar tabs • Coffee shops & cafes • Food delivery & takeout • Group dinners & business meals • Salon, spa & valet tipping • Any service where you leave a tip **WHY HAPPY TIP?** Most calculator apps are bloated with features you don't need. Happy Tip does one thing — tip calculation and bill splitting — and does it exceptionally well. The interface is clean, the results are instant, and it works offline on any iPhone. Download Happy Tip and take the math out of tipping.

Scan the receipt, tip before tax and fees, and split to the penny. Basic tipping is free forever. Pro features come with five free uses, then one purchase unlocks them for good. Nothing ever leaves your phone. Tipflation is out of control. Pitip does the math you actually want: tip on the food, not on the tax and the mandatory service fee. Point your camera at the check. The total, tax, and fees fill themselves in. Pick a percentage, split it, and you're done before the card comes back. SCAN THE RECEIPT Receipt scanning reads the total, tax, and fees straight off the paper: restaurant checks, bar tabs, coffee shop slips. It happens entirely on your phone. Nothing is uploaded and no photo is saved. Pitip shows you what it read and lets you fix it before anything is applied, because you're the one signing. DON'T TIP ON THE FEES Turn on "Tip before tax & fees" and the tip is figured on the subtotal. On an $86.75 check with $7.16 tax and a $3.00 service fee, a 20% tip is $15.32, not $17.35. Tip generously on the food. Skip tipping the county and the card reader. SPLIT TO THE PENNY Up to 20 people. When a bill doesn't divide evenly, Pitip shows exactly who covers the extra cent: $100 at 18% across three people is $39.33, $39.33, and $39.34. The shares always add back up to the total, so nobody quietly eats the rounding. MAKE THE TOTAL Want to pay exactly $76.00? Enter the total you want to pay and Pitip works the tip backwards to land on it. Useful for cash, and for a budget. FREE IN PITIP, FOREVER - Quick tips at 15%, 20%, 25%, or any custom percentage - Round the tip or the total up or down - Recent bills, tap one to bring it back - Share a clean breakdown with the table - Light, dark, or system appearance - Apple Watch app, plus Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets - Siri and Shortcuts: "Calculate a tip with Pitip" PITIP PRO, ONE PURCHASE, NO SUBSCRIPTION - Receipt scanning - Bill splitting for up to 20 people - Pre-tax and pre-fee tipping - Make the total - Custom quick tip percentages Together they come with five free uses, so you can decide for yourself whether Pro is worth buying.

Tap Restore Purchases. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account. No sign-up. No ads, no analytics, no tracking, no ad SDKs.
