1. What is the Pizza Tip Calculator?

The Pizza Tip Calculator helps you quickly calculate the appropriate tip amount for your pizza delivery or dine-in experience based on your bill total and desired tip percentage.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses a simple formula:

Where:

• \( Bill \) — Total bill amount before tip
• \( Tip\% \) — Desired tip percentage

Explanation: The calculator multiplies your bill amount by the tip percentage (converted to decimal) to determine the tip amount, then adds this to the original bill to calculate the total amount due.

3. Importance of Tip Calculation

Details: Proper tip calculation ensures fair compensation for service staff and helps maintain good tipping etiquette. It's especially useful for pizza deliveries where standard tipping percentages apply.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your total bill amount in dollars and your desired tip percentage. Standard tipping rates for pizza delivery are typically 15-20% of the bill total.
