I discovered this tip calculator after constantly struggling with splitting bills and calculating tips when dining out with friends. Math anxiety is real, especially after a few drinks! I built tipcalculator.top to solve this everyday problem with a clean, simple interface that works perfectly on mobile. The reverse calculator feature (which helps figure out the original bill amount from the total) came from my own frustrating experience trying to reconcile credit card charges. I'd love to hear how others use it and what features would make it even more helpful - maybe custom presets for different countries or integration with expense tracking apps? Your feedback would really help shape where this goes next!
Can skip those, this is a uniquely American concern, in the rest of the world we just pay our bills and if there's something to split a generous approximation is what people do, and they leave something for the waiter if appropriate without needing a frigging calculator to do that.

This is also a uniquely American thing where you can both discover something and then build it, or is it the other way round?

This is also a uniquely American thing where you can't just marry someone but must plan every detail months in advance, where you can't just give birth to a child but must perform a gender reveal party, and, also, struggle when 'dining'. In the rest of the world people get married, have kids, and eat.
