Tip Calculator
Description
Dining out with friends should be fun, not a math test. The Tip Calculator eliminates the awkward moments at the end of a meal when the bill arrives.

No more scribbling on napkins or guessing percentages. This tool ensures servers are tipped fairly and everyone pays their fair share.
