Montana 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.
Montana does not allow a "tip credit" — employers must pay tipped workers the full state or local minimum wage before any tips, so a tip here is genuinely extra income rather than a wage top-up.

Correct — Montana 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.
