Should tips be calculated on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?

Etiquette guidelines suggest tipping on the pre-tax food and beverage subtotal, as taxes are mandatory municipal fees rather than part of the hospitality service provided.

How does splitting a bill evenly work?

The calculator sums the base bill and the total tip, and then divides that total sum equally by the number of diners.
