This tool helps you easily calculate how tips are shared among your team.
Tip Pooling Calculator
The Tip Pooling Calculator helps you determine how much each person should contribute towards the tip based on the total bill, the desired tip percentage, and the number of people sharing the tip.
How To Use
To use the calculator, follow these steps:
- Enter the total bill amount in the “Total Bill Amount” field.
- Enter the tip percentage you wish to give in the “Tip Percentage” field.
- Enter the number of people who are contributing to the tip in the “Number of People” field.
- Click the “Calculate” button to see the amount each person should contribute.
How It Works
The script takes the total bill amount and multiplies it by the tip percentage (divided by 100) to determine the total tip amount. It then divides this total tip amount by the number of people to find out how much each person should contribute towards the tip.
Limitations
– The calculator does not handle negative numbers or non-numeric inputs.
– The tip percentage must be between 0 and 100.
– The number of people must be at least 1.
– The ‘Result’ field will display ‘Invalid input’ if any of the inputs are incorrect or missing.
Use Cases for This Calculator
Calculate tip split evenly among staff members
Enter the total amount of tips collected and the number of staff members to evenly distribute the tip amount among everyone. Each staff member will receive an equal share of the tip collected.
