A tip (or gratuity) is an optional payment given to service workers on top of the bill amount. In the US, tips typically range from 15 to 20% and form a significant part of service workers' income.
Formula
Tip = Bill × (Tip% ÷ 100)Bill = pre-tax subtotal amount
Tip% = gratuity percentage chosen (e.g., 18)

Did you know? The word 'tip' may originate from 18th-century English coffeehouses, where boxes labelled 'To Insure Promptitude' (T.I.P.) collected coins for fast service. Tipping norms vary widely: in Japan tips are considered rude, while in the US they are expected.
