Gratuity Calculation
Method
Calculate Gratuity
- 1
Determine Total Check Amount
Start by identifying the total amount of the check before any gratuity is added.
- 2
Calculate Gratuity Amount
Multiply the total check amount by the gratuity percentage (18%). For example, if the check amount is $50, the calculation would be $50 * 0.18 = $9.
- 3
Add Gratuity to Total
Add the calculated gratuity amount to the original total check amount to determine the final total. Using the previous example, the final total would be $50 + $9 = $59.
