Everyday Calculators

Tips, discounts and sales tax — the quick sums you do in a shop or at a restaurant table.

About these calculators

The quick sums you do standing in a shop or sitting at a restaurant table, where being roughly right in your head is usually fine but being exactly right matters when other people are paying too.

Money is handled in whole cents throughout, which is why a three-way split of a bill always adds back up to the total instead of leaving the table a penny short. Sales tax is applied after the discount, the way it actually works at a register.
