About the Tip Calculator

Tip is treated here as a quantitative relation between Bill Amount, Tip Percentage and Number of People and Total Tip, Grand Total, Tip Per Person and Total Per Person.

The calculator uses a multi formula configuration. Each reported value is read as a direct evaluation of the stored rules with the declared field formats and units.

Formula basis:
Tip Amount = Bill x Tip% / 100
Grand Total = Bill + Tip
Per Person = Grand Total / Number of People

Interpret the outputs in the order shown by the result fields. Optional inputs affect only the outputs that depend on those variables.

Formula & How It Works

The calculation applies the following relations exactly as recorded in the metadata:

Tip Amount = Bill x Tip% / 100
Grand Total = Bill + Tip
Per Person = Grand Total / Number of People

Each output field is produced by substituting the supplied inputs into the relevant relation and then applying the declared rounding or text format.
