Know the tip and everyone's share before the check reaches the table. THE RIGHT TIP IN ONE TAP Type the bill, tap 10, 15 or 20 percent, and the tip, the total and each person's share appear at once. No sums on a napkin, no awkward pause at the table. SPLIT THE CHECK FAIRLY Add people with one tap and everyone sees what they owe, tip included. With Premium, round each share up or down so nobody has to count coins. TIP LIKE A LOCAL WHEN YOU TRAVEL The free guide covers the basics. Premium adds what is expected in 24 countries, from the United States and the UK to Japan, where a tip can cause confusion, plus buffets, delivery, bars and large groups. Pay in the currency of the trip, from euros to yen. LEAVE EXACTLY THE TIP YOU MEAN Premium lets you set any tip, such as 18 or 22 percent, when the service earned more or less than a preset. LOOK BACK AT EVERY BILL Premium keeps each bill you work out, so you can see what you paid and tipped on any day. FREE AND PREMIUM The calculator, the presets and splitting are free, with a small banner ad. Tipwise Premium unlocks custom tips, rounding, currencies, the country guide and your bill history, and removes ads. Premium is a one-time purchase, no subscription.
