YSK That When Selecting a Tip When Paying Using a Credit Card Machine at a Restaurant, The Tip Percentage is Calculated Against the Bill + Taxes.

Why YSK: You're getting ripped off.

When paying using a Credit Card machine, you are given choices for a tip percentage...10%...15%...20%. If you select a percentage, it's calculated against the bill + taxes, not just the bill.

I live in Ontario, and our sales tax is 13%.

For example, if the bill is $200, the total is $226. If I select 20%, the tip will not be $40, it will be $45.20.

Calculate the tip and enter a dollar figure, or tip cash.
