Tip & Gratuity Calculator
Gratuity treatment varies from one company and contract to the next. First check the written quote for a service charge or driver gratuity line. If you decide to add a percentage, this calculator performs the arithmetic without claiming that one percentage is required or customary for every trip.

How this tool works
What the Tip & Gratuity Calculator computes, and what it cannot
What it computes
Enter the written contract total and a percentage you choose, and the calculator returns the additional amount and the total including it. That is the whole computation, by design: it performs the arithmetic without asserting that any percentage is required or customary.
When to use it
Use it after the written quote arrives and you have checked whether a service charge or driver gratuity line is already on it. If gratuity is included, the tool is not needed. If it is not and you want to add something, choose your percentage and the calculator does the splitting for the group.
What it cannot tell you
It cannot tell you whether gratuity is already included, which is the question that matters. Our quotes itemize gratuity as its own line so there is no doubt; read that line before you reach for a percentage. The tool also cannot tell you what is customary, because that varies by trip and by what the contract already covers.
When the tool has done its part, call us at 844-725-4257 or send the itinerary and we name the bus, the itemized total and the written terms.
