1. What is Tip Per Person Calculation?

The Tip Per Person calculation helps divide the total tip amount equally among all participants. It's commonly used in restaurants or group settings where a bill needs to be shared.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following equation:

Where:

• \( Bill \) — Total bill amount before tip
• \( Tip Rate \) — Percentage you want to tip (e.g., 15%, 20%)
• \( People \) — Number of people sharing the tip

Explanation: The equation first calculates the total tip amount, then divides it equally among all participants.
