Questions about this tool
Is tax charged on the service charge?
In many countries yes, because the service charge is part of the price of the service. Leave the option on if your bill works that way.
Why round the share up?
It makes paying in cash easier. The surplus after rounding is shown and can be left as a tip.
What if everyone ordered different things?
Use the itemized bill splitter, which spreads service and tax in proportion to each order.
