Formula highlights
Tip
tip = bill x tip rate
Share
share = total / number of people
Equal versus weighted sharing
Choose equal splitting when use was broadly similar. Choose weighted sharing when individuals clearly consumed different amounts.
Tip handling
- Keep the chosen tip percentage visible.
- Check whether service is already included.
- Add the tip before or after the split according to the chosen method and show that method clearly.
Worked examples
60 split between 3 with 10% tip -> 66 total -> 22 each on an equal split.
Rounding differences should be handled openly so nobody is surprised.
Practical reminders
- Show subtotal, tip, total, and per-person share clearly.
- Do not hide small rounding adjustments.
