The sales tax can affect the amount that you tip in that a. A tip of a given percentage (such as a 20% tip) will be larger if calculated after tax than if calculated before tax.

When you give a tip after tax as a percentage, you would be taking a percentage of a larger amount which would mean that the tip would be larger as well.

For instance, assume you wanted to give a 10% tip to a meal that cost $40 with a tax of $5. The tip before tax is:

= 10% x 40

= $4.00

The tip after tax is:

= 10% x (40 + 5)

= $4.50

In conclusion, giving a tip as a percentage after tax increases the tip.
