Gratuity Calculation

Method

Calculating Gratuity

  1. 1

    Step 1: Determine Total Bill Amount

    Identify the total amount of the bill before any gratuity is applied. This will be the base amount for the calculation.

  2. 2

    Step 2: Calculate Gratuity Amount

    To calculate the gratuity amount, multiply the total bill amount by the gratuity percentage (18%). Use the formula: Gratuity Amount = Total Bill Amount x (Gratuity Percentage / 100).

  3. 3

    Step 3: Add Gratuity to Total Bill

    Add the calculated gratuity amount to the total bill amount to find the final amount due. Final Amount Due = Total Bill Amount + Gratuity Amount.
