Frequently Asked Questions

How do you calculate tip percentage on a meal?

To calculate tip, multiply the pre-tax bill amount by the tip percentage converted to a decimal: Tip = Bill × (Tip % ÷ 100). For example, on an $80 bill with an 18% tip: 80 × 0.18 = $14.40 tip, making the total $94.40.

Should tip be calculated before or after sales tax?

Standard tipping etiquette recommends tipping on the pre-tax food and beverage subtotal rather than the taxed grand total, as taxes are mandatory municipal fees rather than compensation for service.
