Pedicure Tip Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the total cost of a pedicure is:

\[ \text{Total Cost} = (\text{BC} + (\text{BC} \times \text{Tip P})) \times (1 + \text{TR}/100) \]

Where:

$\text{Total Cost}$ is the final amount to be paid, including the tip and tax
$\text{BC}$ is the base cost of the pedicure service ($)
$\text{Tip P}$ is the tip percentage (%)
$\text{TR}$ is the tax rate (%)

What is a Pedicure Tip?

A pedicure tip refers to a piece of advice or recommendation that helps enhance the process and results of a pedicure, which is a cosmetic treatment for the feet and toenails. These tips can range from preparation steps, such as removing old nail polish and soaking feet in warm water to soften the skin, to post-pedicure care, such as moisturizing regularly and avoiding tight shoes that can cause blisters or damage the nail polish.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Base Cost (BC) = $50
Tip Percentage (Tip P) = 20%
Tax Rate (TR) = 8%

Using the formula:

\[ \text{Total Cost} = (50 + (50 \times 0.20)) \times (1 + 0.08) = 64.80 \]

The Total Cost is $64.80.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Base Cost (BC) = $75
Tip Percentage (Tip P) = 15%
Tax Rate (TR) = 10%

Using the formula:

\[ \text{Total Cost} = (75 + (75 \times 0.15)) \times (1 + 0.10) = 94.88 \]

The Total Cost is $94.88.
