Delaware is one of only five US states with no statewide sales tax, so the bill total on your receipt is generally the pre-tip amount already — there's no tax line to add on top.
Like most states, Delaware allows employers to pay tipped workers a lower base cash wage under a federal or state "tip credit," as long as tips bring total pay up to at least the regular minimum wage — which is part of why tipping culture is taken seriously in the US service industry.

Correct — Delaware is one of just five US states with no statewide sales tax, and (unlike Alaska) it doesn't allow local sales taxes either, so the total on your receipt is the actual pre-tip amount, with nothing added at checkout.
No. This tool calculates the tip a customer leaves on a bill. A payroll or paycheck tip calculator is a different, employer-side tool for reporting tip income and calculating wages.
