As fast as you can jot down the figures, MONEY Magazine Tip Assistant will quickly calculate the tax, service gratuity and divide a bill evenly amongst a group of people. Tip Assistant is brought to you as a free gift from LandWare, the creators of MONEY Magazine Financial Assistant.

Quicker than pen and paper
If you know how to fill in a restaurant bill you already know how to use the Tip Assistant. Simply enter the check subtotal and the figures are instantly calculated for you. The restaurant's tax calculation and addition are also automatically verified.

Unparalleled flexibility
MONEY Magazine Tip Assistant provides the flexibility to alter the subtotal, tax amount and percentage, tip amount and percentage and guest totals to quickly provide the answers to a range of different problems including:

• How much does each person from a group of five pay on a $230 bill with a 18% gratuity fee added? 
• What percentage does a $16 tip paid on top of a $120 bar tab represent? 
• What tax rate has been applied to a $120 bill if the tax total is $6.79? 

Tipology 101: Who gets what and how much
Just who should get a tip, and how much, has always been a source of debate. Why is no one leaving a tip in this wonderful New Zealand restaurant? Should you tip a physical therapist? What about the cable guy? MONEY Magazine Tip Assistant helps take the guess work out of tipping by providing extensive advice on national and international tipping etiquette. 

This one splits the bill
Tip Assistant is especially convenient when you want to divide the check equally amongst a group of people (the guy who ordered the extra plate of nachos not withstanding). Tap the arrows at the bottom of the screen to round the total (and the split) amounts up or down to the next whole dollar. The tip percentage is updated automatically.
