The calculator uses this simple formula to ensure accurate and quick results. The tip percentage is fixed at 20% as specified in the calculator name.

Worked Examples

Example 1: Single Person

If you have a bill of $50 and you're dining alone:

Bill Amount: $50
Number of People: 1
Tip Amount: $50 × 0.20 = $10
Tip Per Person: $10 ÷ 1 = $10

The total tip to leave is $10.

Example 2: Group of Four

If you have a bill of $120 and you're dining with three friends:

Bill Amount: $120
Number of People: 4
Tip Amount: $120 × 0.20 = $24
Tip Per Person: $24 ÷ 4 = $6

Each person should leave a $6 tip, totaling $24 for the entire bill.
