    hey, i was looking for the exact same thing and came across these:
    BlackBerry App World - FreeTips
    and
    GeoTip - Restaurant Tip Calculator for Cell Phones and Blackberry (free download)
    i like them both. i like the 2nd link a little better but the icon is ugly (yes, i know i'm picky).

    I just open the calculator and multiply my bill times what I feel is an adequate tip.

    BB users aren't idiots with 1000 useless app on iPhones. Just multiply your bill by 1.05 to 1.25 and there is your total.

    Not to be a ****, but I never understood the need for a tip calculator. It really isn't that hard to figure out 10-20% of the bill in your head. Or at least get a rough estimate and just round up to the next dollar. That's what I do.

    Last night at Applebee's bill was $48.xx. I left $54 even on the table. Waiteress got $5.xx. I don't feel like tipping to the absolute penny is necessary.

    EDIT: Don't know why j e rk is censored.

    EDIT2: My post may start an off-topic discussion. For that I apologize in advanced, but it had to be said.

    I have to agree. 20% is easy to figure. If your service is great tip more or terrible tip less. Do you have a $20 tab, that's 2 bucks. No idea why anyone needs a tip calc. Just saying......

    I was in the restaurant business and let me just say that if you had a $48 bill and you only tipped $6, you need a tip calculator to figure out your tip for you. Exact change doesn't matter but $48 is at least a $9 tip unless the service was bad, in that case it probably would have been less but as a rule of thumb if you don't have the ability to tip 20% you shouldn't be eating out. FYI, I was not a server in the restaurant business.

    Yeah, another good way to do it is to just double the taxes which are itemized on your receipt. If you're in a place where it's say 8% or better, all you need to do is X2 to leave a respectable tip...top it off with a few bux if the service was good, or pinch a few pennies if you don't think it was worth 16+%.

    According to Blackberry App World, it has the EasyTip by Adorno for free for one day when it's regularly priced at $2.99.

    Apparently its not that easy to figure. 20% of a $20 tip is $4, not $2!

    The tax rate where I live is 6% so if I triple the tax then I'm leaving an 18% tip. I will usually round up or down to an even amount.

    I can't really do this when I travel if I don't know the tax rate so I just take the pretax amount and add between 15-20% depending on meal and/or type of restaurant.

    I use the same that I used on my iPhone, it's called the Calculator. Ships free with both the iPhone and BlackBerry.

    Exactly - "double the tax" is the quickest tip calculator I've ever used. No download necessary.
