Splitting the bill with friends or calculating a tip at the restaurant doesn’t have to be stressful. With the built-in Calculator app on your Apple Watch, you can easily work out how much each person owes and how much tip to leave. This simple, yet effective tool can save time when dining out or splitting costs with a group.
Whether you’re calculating a tip on your own or splitting the cost with multiple people, Apple Watch’s bill-splitting and tipping calculator has you covered.
How to Use the Split Bill and Tip Functions on Apple Watch
- Launch the Calculator app on your Apple Watch.
- Enter the total amount of the bill.
- Tap the TIP button in the top-right corner, just left of the divide button.
- Adjust the tip percentage: When the Tip field turns green, rotate the Digital Crown to change the tip percentage.
- Split the bill between people: Tap People and use the Digital Crown to adjust the number of people splitting the bill. The maximum is 50 people.
The total amount below the two fields will change to reflect your tip adjustments, and the amount below that will show how much each person owes based on the number of people.
How to Customize the Tip Function (If Needed)
If you see the standard percentage (%) button instead of the TIP button, you can change the layout:
- Go to Settings ➝ Calculator on your Apple Watch.
- Select Tip Function instead of Percent.
This change will allow you to see the TIP button on the main screen.
