Tip Calculator & Bill Splitter
Calculate the tip and split the bill fairly: tip amount, total and amount per person — with optional rounding up to the next dollar. In the US 15–20% is customary.

- Example: a $50 bill + 18% = $9 tip, $59 total. Split between 2 people that is $29.50 each.
- “Round up total” rounds to the next full dollar — handy when paying; the effective percentage rises slightly.
