1. What is the Michigan Tip Calculator?

Definition: Welcome to the Michigan Tip Calculator. This tool helps you determine appropriate tips for Michigan restaurants based on bill amount and group size.

Purpose: At YourTipCalculator.com, we simplify tipping for Michigan restaurants. The Michigan Tip Formula applies 16% base tip and 4% for groups larger than 6 people with a $3 minimum, while the Straight 20% Rule uses a flat 20%.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses two methods:

\[ \text{Base Tip} = 0.16 \times \text{Bill Amount} \] \[ \text{Large Group Add-on} = 0.04 \times \text{Bill Amount} \text{ (if Number of People > 6, otherwise 0)} \] \[ \text{Total Tip (Formula)} = \max(3, \text{Base Tip} + \text{Large Group Add-on}) \] \[ \text{Tip per Person (Formula)} = \frac{\text{Total Tip (Formula)}}{\text{Number of People}} \] or \[ \text{Total Tip (20% Rule)} = 0.20 \times \text{Bill Amount} \] \[ \text{Tip per Person (20% Rule)} = \frac{\text{Total Tip (20% Rule)}}{\text{Number of People}} \]

Where:

$ \text{Total Tip} $ — Total tip amount in dollars (Michigan Tip Formula has $3 minimum)
$ \text{Tip per Person} $ — Tip amount per person splitting
$ \text{Bill Amount} $ — Total bill cost in USD
$ \text{Number of People} $ — Number of people in the group
