Even Steven Tip Calculator splits the check more fairly! Splitting the check with a bunch of non-drinkers complaining they are paying for your drinks? The Even Steven Tip Calculator splits the check more fairly: everybody pays for the food, and the drinkers pay extra for the drinks.The Even Steven Tip Calculator also works if some people had appetizers and others did not. Just mentally replace 'drinks' with 'appetizers' and 'drinkers' with 'fat people'.InstructionsHave someone sober enter the following information:The Total Check amount. This includes food, drinks and tax, but not tip.The Tax %. Even Steven subtracts the tax, computes the tip, then adds the tax back in.The Number of Non-Drinkers.You can type it in or use the slider.The Number of Drinkers.You can type it in or use the slider.Whether or not to Itemize Drinks.This option lets you itemize drinks by drinker (somewhat). I recommend itemizing drinks if different people ordered wildly different kinds of drinks or numbers of drinks.If you are not itemizing drinks:Enter the average number of drinks per drinker. You can type it in or use the slider.Enter the average cost per drink. You can type it in or use the Less/More buttons.If you are itemizing drinks:Enter the name of each drinker (optional but helpful at the end if there are lots of drinkers).Enter the number of drinks for that drinker. You can type it in or use the slider.Enter the average cost per drink for that drinker. You can type it in or use the Less/More buttons.Enter the Tip %. This is a global percent i.e. everybody agrees to tip the same percent.Even Steven then computes and returns the following amounts:Total amount to leave on the table.The sub total, tip, and total amounts each non-drinker pays. Everybody (non-drinkers and drinkers) pays the same for the food.The sub total, tip, and total amounts each drinker pays.This includes the food sub total, the drinks sub total, the tip and the tax.The sub total to leave on one non-drinker's credit card, or the sub total to leave on one drinker's credit card. These are optional amounts and they are mutually exclusive. They are to be used only in the following circumstance: Some establishments do not allow you to charge more than the check to credit cards. If everyone is paying by credit card then the simplest thing to do is have all but one person enter the computed totals as their totals, and have one person enter either the "sub-total to leave on one non-drinker's credit card" or "sub-total to leave on one drinker's credit card" as his/her sub total, and enter the total tip amount as his/her tip.How it WorksEven Steven first removes the tax from the sub total.Then it splits that amount into a drinks sub total and a food sub total.Then it figures out the food total per patron: food, tip and tax.Then it figures out the food and drinks total per drinker: food, drinks, tip and tax.
