Overview

The Basics

The tip calculator is quite simple and streamlined to use. It has various features to make it appropriate for every day use (see below).

To use it, simply start typing in the bill amount, and it will be calculated as you type based on the current configuration (tip percentage, currency, rounding, etc.). You can adjust these settings in the settings menu.

From the home page, there exists two buttons on the top title bar. The one that looks like a little person toggles the "Splitting" menu where you can split the bill among multiple people. The gear icon opens the settings menu where you can adjust various settings of the app.

Your settings will persist which makes it incredibly easy to simply open up the app, type in the bill amount, and have the tip calculated (and/or split) in seconds.
