How this is calculated

Tip is calculated on the subtotal (before tax), which is the most common convention. Tax is calculated on the subtotal you enter.

In equal mode, the grand total (subtotal + tax + tip) is divided evenly. In items mode, each person's tax and tip share is proportional to their share of the subtotal.

Formula

Tax amount = subtotal × tax % ÷ 100Tip amount = subtotal × tip % ÷ 100Grand total = subtotal + tax amount + tip amountEqual split: grand total ÷ number of people

Worked example

A $100 bill with 10% tax and 20% tip totals $130 — $65 each if split equally two ways.
