How to Split a Bill and Tip on Apple Watch

[MacRumors]

All Apple Watch models include a stock Calculator app that offers a couple of handy features for working out how much you should tip when eating out and how much each person in a group owes if you're splitting the bill.

The two functions can be used together, but if it's just yourself dining out then you can just leave the People field set to 1. The steps below show you how it works.

Note: If you see a standard percentage (%) button where the TIP button should be, you can change the calculator layout to replace it. Simply go to Settings ➝ Calculator and select Tip Function instead of Percent.

How to Use the Split Bill and Tip Calculator Functions on Apple Watch

1. Launch the Calculator app on your Apple Watch.
2. Enter the total amount of the bill.
3. Tap the TIP button in the top-right corner, just left of the divide button.
4. With the Tip field highlighted in green, turn your watch's Digital Crown to change the percentage.
5. To split the bill between a group of people, tap People and then use the Digital Crown to change the number (the maximum is 50).

You'll see the total amount below the two fields change to reflect your tip adjustments, and the amount below that will change depending on how many people are paying.

I wish the iPhone app had this

Old tip...

I knew this for years...

OR- you could just multiply the total times 0.2, round to the nearest dollar....

Unsurprisingly, there are a LOT of people that can't do that.

 

[Cheesehead Dave]

Didn't know about this. Too bad you can't long press on the % button to change modes.

I had never opened the calculator on my watch.

Why doesn't the phone have a tip calculator? it's easy enough to use a regular calc, but still.

 

[cjsuk]

Never knew this.

Then again I live in a country where we don't tip. And they take separate payments from each person based on what they ordered.

 

[Skyscraperfan]

I prefer that everybody pays for what he actually consumed. They can still pay together.

Yeah as the thin guy who has a lot of fat friends, I agree with this.

You could also "use your brain"

 

[Marcus PM]

Using this over-simplified method, you are tipping on the State Tax and any "Service fee," not just the actual food bill.

Only on MR would a tipping calculator article spark immediate outrage and disgust. 😆

 

[Nada Ting]

Is there anything you can do on these repulsive devices without having to buy something?

 

[bradman83]

What would really be handy would be a phone app with OCR which can read the restaurant receipt, isolate each individual item, and assign it to a person. That way if everyone at the table got a $15 burger except for Chad, who got the $30 steak we can make sure Chad pays is fair share. (I'm sure this exists I'm just too lazy to search the app store).

Didn't even know it had a calculator 😅

Splitting a bill isn't really a thing here. One of us usually pays and then we PayPal one another after putting it in the Splitwise app (very handy when travelling with a group of people)

 

[cocky jeremy]

Or people can just pay for their own stuff.

 

[nickbatz]

Cool! Thanks.

 

[Eureka20]

VERY helpful!

Many people these days just want the answers and not want the steps/how to get to the solution.

I've noticed, yeah.
It concerns me a bit for the future.

That's why they are splitting the bill.

That’s asking a bit much these days.
