While paying a restaurant bill, we make mental decisions about
what percentage to tip based on the quality of service. We then
calculate the tip amount, usually add a small fraction to
round up the total to the nearest whole number.
For example, suppose the bill amount (including tax) is 27.52.
We
decide to tip 15%, which is 4.13.
So the total amount including tip
is 27.52 + 4.13 = 31.65.
We round that up to 32 and sign the
receipt.
It's easy to write 32.00 as the total amount, but most restaurants
require you to specify the tip amount separately. Calculating the
"actual tip" based on the total can be challenging and time
consuming.
Tipper saves the effort by
calculating the total and displaying the actual tip amount.
Additionally, if you specify more than one payer, the total amount
is split evenly and each payer's share is displayed (see screen shot).
For simplicity, Tipper always rounds the total up to the nearest
whole number.
So you will never see a total like 31.65. This means
your actual tip will always be fractionally higher than the
percentage you selected.
Not only will paying in whole numbers make it much easier
to pay in cash, it make
your expense reports look prettier
and your server earns a small bonus.
