The bill is $87.40, four people, one of whom only had a salad, and the tap screen starts at 22 percent. TipShift calculates tips and splits a bill in the browser. Use it to pick a percent, to split even or with a custom share, to see tax-in vs tax-out tipping if you care. Do not use it as a wage-policy argument, a VAT primer (DiscountShift), or a currency converter. Local norms differ. The number you pick is social, not a mathematical law. Privacy is total: a dinner total is not a financial product. Percent math is PercentShift if you did not need the split.
Enter the bill, tip percent, number of people. Get tip, total, per person if even split. If the UI allows pre-tax tip, use the pre-tax subtotal — some people care, some statutes care, many tap screens do not. Rounding per person is how one friend pays a penny more. Decide that in the group, not in a thesis.
When not to use it: service-included countries where a tip is a different social object, and large events with automatic gratuity already on the check (read the line). Double-tipping an auto-gratuity is a common embarrassment. Also skip FX. If the salad person wants itemized split, this even split will feel unfair on purpose — do the arithmetic on items or let it go.
Privacy is local. There is no restaurant log. Close the tab. CalcShift is a mortgage. Do not mix the mental models just because both have a percent field. Tap-screen defaults are not required; compute the dollar tip you meant, then tap custom. Read the check for auto-gratuity before you add another percent and double-tip a six-top.
Bill $87.40, tax included, four people, 18 percent on the total. Tip $15.73, grand $103.13, about $25.78 each. One person pays $25.79 because of pennies. You noticed an 18 percent auto-gratuity already on a separate 6-top last week and did not tip twice. Numbers stayed in the tab. No payment processor involved. One friend paying a penny more is rounding, not a moral failure; settle it in the payment app.
TipShift runs in the browser. Check totals never upload and there is no dining history or payment processor. Close the tab when the people at the table have paid; the arithmetic does not need to linger on the screen afterward.

Local custom and sometimes law. Many US tap screens tip on the total. If you care, use the pre-tax subtotal. Neither is a moral proof. Some people tip on pre-tax; many US tap screens tip on the total; neither is a universal moral proof.
No. It is a default. Compute the number you meant, then tap a custom percent. TipShift is for that pause. A 22 percent default on a screen is a suggestion; TipShift is the pause before you tap a custom percent.
Then a large extra percent may be wrong for the context. This calculator will still multiply. Social context is on you. A large extra percent where service is included may be wrong for the room; the calculator will still multiply.
Even split is the happy path. For itemized, list dishes or use the restaurant's split-check. A tip calculator is not a POS. Even split is the happy path; a tip calculator is not a POS, so itemize dishes if the salad argument is real.
