Receipt context
A small bill can have different contexts
A $25 bill may be a quick lunch, a coffee-and-pastry stop, or a small personal service. The table gives the math, but the final choice can depend on the service, the setting, and whether a tip or fee is already included.
Split example
A simple two-person $25 split
At 20% before tax, the $30.00 subtotal-plus-tip amount is $15.00 each for two people. Add the receipt tax first if you want the final split, because even a small tax line can change the amount someone sends.
Use the split bill calculatorBefore you pay
Check the screen for an included amount
On a small bill, a payment screen can make a dollar amount look minor. Before adding it, check for a service charge, delivery fee, or included gratuity. Use only the voluntary amount you choose as the extra tip.
Next step
Choose the tool that matches the bill
Use the main calculator when the $25 total includes tax or a fee. Use the split bill calculator when the two people ordered different items.

Read the charge line before tipping
