Calculating tips and splitting bills can be awkward, especially in group dining situations.

The tool instantly computes the tip amount, the total bill including tip, and the amount each person owes. This is perfect for restaurants, bars, delivery services, taxis, and any group expense. All processing is local – no data is uploaded, ensuring privacy. The tool also includes a usage counter, star rating, and like/dislike buttons for feedback.

✨ Powerful Features
⚙️ How the Tip Calculator Works Under the Hood
The tool uses simple arithmetic: tip = bill × (tip% / 100); total = bill + tip; per person = total / number of people. The JavaScript listens to `input` events on all three numeric fields and updates the results instantly. The copy button uses the Clipboard API to copy the total bill amount. The usage counter increments each time the calculation runs (debounced to avoid excessive increments) and is stored in localStorage. The star rating and like/dislike buttons also persist in localStorage. All logic is vanilla JavaScript, with no external libraries. The tool is fully self‑contained and works offline after first load.

Group events: Split costs for parties, gifts, or group purchases. Business expenses: Reimburse employees for meals with exact tip included. The tool handles any scenario where a percentage gratuity and split are needed.
