Massage Tip Definition

The massage tip is the amount of money given as a gratuity to the massage therapist based on the cost of the massage service. It is typically calculated as a percentage of the total service price. The tip amount is an expression of appreciation for the therapist's service and is usually added on top of the total price of the massage.

Example Calculation 1

Assume the following:

Price of massage service = $100
Tip rate = 15%

Steps to Calculate the Tip Amount:

Convert the Tip Rate to Decimal:
\[ r = \frac{15}{100} = 0.15 \]
Calculate the Massage Tip Amount:
\[ \text{MT} = 100 \times 0.15 = 15 \]

The Massage Tip Amount is $15.00.

Example Calculation 2

Assume the following:

Price of massage service = $75
Tip rate = 20%

Steps to Calculate the Tip Amount:

Convert the Tip Rate to Decimal:
\[ r = \frac{20}{100} = 0.20 \]
Calculate the Massage Tip Amount:
\[ \text{MT} = 75 \times 0.20 = 15 \]

The Massage Tip Amount is $15.00.
