Frequently Asked Questions

What's the standard tip percentage?

In the US, 18-20% is standard for good service at restaurants. 15% for average service, 25% for exceptional service. For other services: 10-15% for hair stylists, $1-2 per bag for hotel bellhops, 15-20% for taxi drivers.

How accurate is BMI for health assessment?

BMI is a general screening tool but has limitations. It doesn't distinguish between muscle and fat, so athletes may have high BMI despite being healthy. It's less accurate for elderly, children, and certain ethnicities. Consult healthcare providers for complete health assessment.

How do I calculate percentage change for business?

Use the formula: ((New Value - Old Value) / Old Value) × 100. Positive results show growth, negative show decline. For example, if sales went from $1000 to $1200: ((1200-1000)/1000) × 100 = 20% increase.

Why might my calculated age differ slightly?

Age calculations depend on the exact time and timezone. Our calculator uses your current date and time. Small differences may occur if calculated at different times of day or in different timezones, especially around birthdays.

What's the difference between simple and compound interest?

Simple interest is calculated only on the principal amount. Compound interest is calculated on the principal plus previously earned interest. Compound interest grows faster over time, making it more powerful for investments but more expensive for loans.

Are my calculations private?

Yes! All calculations are performed in your browser locally. No data is sent to servers or stored anywhere. You can use these calculators offline once the page loads, ensuring complete privacy for your personal calculations.
