1. What Is Bill Calculation?

Bill calculation is the process of determining the total amount due by summing up the costs of individual items or services, plus any applicable taxes and fees. It is essential for accurate financial transactions and budgeting.

2. How Does The Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the bill calculation formula:

\[ \text{Total Bill} = \sum (\text{Quantity}_i \times \text{Rate}_i) + \text{Tax} + \text{Fees} \]

Where:

$ \text{Quantity}_i $ — Number of units for item i (unitless)
$ \text{Rate}_i $ — Price per unit for item i ($/unit)
$ \text{Tax} $ — Additional tax amount ($)
$ \text{Fees} $ — Additional fees amount ($)

Explanation: The formula calculates the sum of all item costs (quantity multiplied by rate) and then adds any applicable taxes and fees to arrive at the final total bill amount.
