Worked examples
Concrete numbers and cases you can check against the tool above.
Four people, $96 pre-tip, 20%
Tip = 0.20 Γ 96 = $19.20. Total $115.20, or $28.80 per person if split evenly. If one person did not drink, calculate the shared food first, then add drinks to individuals β this toolβs even split will not do that for you automatically.
