Hello everyone,

I am having a hard time figuring out on our vendor's tipping. Do you guys TIP on the pre-tax or total amount with tax?

For example our PHOTO/VIDEO

TOTAL WITH TAX = $5,963.35Pre-tax = 5695.00tip with tax is 1073.40 at 18% and pre tax tip is 1,025.1
This is just that vendor and small amounts add up. My venue adds a 23% service fee than with that total they tax it.venue for food 18000 plus 23% service fee then tax 23183.24. is the service fee tip?

They service fee at venue should not be taxed. The tax is on the food and beverage. They are overcharging you. I wouldn’t pay a photographer a tip on top of that fee. I would feed him and maybe give him $100. And $100 for the video person.

Ask them if service fee includes tip. Some places use “service fee” synonymously with tip, but some places it is NOT tip! Just ask them if service fee includes gratuity. Because you don’t want to double tip but you also don’t want to not tip!
