Formula / how it works
Everyday estimators combine simple arithmetic with conventional rules of thumb (splits, tips, DIY material allowances, fuel math). Treat outputs as planning aids, not contractor quotes, tax filings, or binding agreements. For the Tip by Country, the labeled fields (Bill (money), Country / region) drive the live result panel.
