Have you ever used a tip calculator?

Question

If so, what was the app and what did you like/dislike about it? Do you have a favorite tip calculator app?

If not, would you ever consider using one? What would be an incentive to use a calculator or over making the calculation in your head?

If not, I double whatever the tax is as my tip

Not personally, most places I go to now (like I mentioned in that other thread) have a button for me to press to tip.

Yes, I have used a tip calculator, and it's a convenient tool for dining out. A tip calculator helps quickly determine the appropriate tip amount based on the service received and the total bill. By inputting the bill amount and selecting a desired tip percentage, usually ranging from 15% to 20% or more, the vat exclusive calculator instantly provides the tip amount and the new total, including the tip. This ensures that one can tip fairly and accurately without the hassle of manual calculations, making it especially useful in group settings or when traveling in places with different tipping customs. The tool is particularly handy for those who want to avoid the awkwardness of under-tipping or over-tipping and want to ensure that their gesture of appreciation for good service is properly conveyed.
