Tip Calculation Formula

Tip Amount = Bill Amount × (Tip Percentage ÷ 100)

Total Bill = Bill Amount + Tip Amount

For example, if your bill is $50 and you want to leave a 20% tip:

Tip Amount = $50 × (20 ÷ 100) = $10
Total Bill = $50 + $10 = $60

Using the calculator, you can quickly determine the tip amount and total bill for any bill amount and tip percentage.
