Quick Tip Math

  • 10%: Move decimal one place left ($85 → $8.50)
  • 15%: 10% + half of 10% ($8.50 + $4.25 = $12.75)
  • 20%: Double 10% ($8.50 × 2 = $17)
  • 25%: 20% + half of 10% ($17 + $4.25 = $21.25)

Splitting by Items Ordered

When people order different amounts, use custom split. Each person pays their subtotal plus proportional tip. Someone who ordered 40% of the food pays 40% of the tip.
