Tip Divider Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the tip per person is:

\[ \text{Tip Per Person} = \frac{\text{Total Bill} \times \left( \frac{\text{Tip Percentage}}{100} \right)}{\text{Number of People}} \]

Where:

$\text{Total Bill}$ is the final amount on the bill before tip
$\text{Tip Percentage}$ is the percentage of the total bill that is being given as a tip
$\text{Number of People}$ is the number of individuals sharing the tip

What is a Tip Divider?

A tip divider is a tool used to calculate how much each person should contribute towards a tip when splitting the cost among multiple people. This is particularly useful in dining situations where a single bill is shared, ensuring that everyone pays an equal share of the tip.

Example Calculations

Example 1:

Total Bill: $100
Tip Percentage: 15%
Number of People: 4

Using the formula:

\[ \text{Tip Per Person} = \frac{100 \times \left( \frac{15}{100} \right)}{4} = \frac{100 \times 0.15}{4} = \frac{15}{4} = 3.75 \text{ \$} \]

Example 2:

Total Bill: $200
Tip Percentage: 20%
Number of People: 5

Using the formula:

\[ \text{Tip Per Person} = \frac{200 \times \left( \frac{20}{100} \right)}{5} = \frac{200 \times 0.20}{5} = \frac{40}{5} = 8 \text{ \$} \]
