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 Money® Magazine Tip Assistant. Simply enter the total (pre or post tax) 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 base amount, 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

Money® Magazine 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).
