Service Charge Components

Method

Calculating Service Charge

  1. 1

    Step 1: Set Base Fee

    Determine the base service fee for the event. This is a fixed amount that will be added to the total service charge.

  2. 2

    Step 2: Calculate Guest Charge

    Multiply the number of guests by the additional service charge per guest. This will give you the total variable component of the service charge.

  3. 3

    Step 3: Calculate Gratuity

    Calculate the gratuity by taking the subtotal (base fee + guest charges) and multiplying it by the gratuity percentage. This will add a tip to the total service charge.

  4. 4

    Step 4: Total Service Charge

    Add the base service fee, the total guest charge, and the gratuity to arrive at the total service charge for the event.
