Example: $100 Bill with 8 People

Imagine a $100 bill with 8 people.

Using the Quebec Tip Formula

• Base tip (15%): $15.00

• Large group add-on (3%): $3.00

• Total Formula Tip: $15.00 + $3.00 = $18.00

• Tip per Person (8 people): $2.25

vs. Straight 15%: $15.00

Using the Straight 15% Rule

• Base tip (15% of $100): $15.00

• Tip per Person (8 people): $1.88

vs. Quebec Tip Formula: $18.00

1. What is the Quebec Tip Calculator?

Definition: Welcome to the Quebec Tip Calculator. This tool helps you determine a fair tip for services in Quebec based on bill amount and group size.

Purpose: At YourTipCalculator.com, we simplify tipping for services in Quebec. The Quebec Tip Formula applies 15% base tip and 3% for groups larger than 6 people with a $3 minimum, while the Straight 15% Rule uses a flat 15%.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses two methods:

\[ \text{Base Tip} = 0.15 \times \text{Bill Amount} \] \[ \text{Large Group Add-on} = 0.03 \times \text{Bill Amount} \text{ (if Number of People > 6, otherwise 0)} \] \[ \text{Total Tip (Formula)} = \max(3, \text{Base Tip} + \text{Large Group Add-on}) \] \[ \text{Tip per Person (Formula)} = \frac{\text{Total Tip (Formula)}}{\text{Number of People}} \] or \[ \text{Total Tip (15% Rule)} = 0.15 \times \text{Bill Amount} \] \[ \text{Tip per Person (15% Rule)} = \frac{\text{Total Tip (15% Rule)}}{\text{Number of People}} \]

Where:

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

Explanation: Enter the Bill Amount and Number of People, then select a method. The Quebec Tip Formula adds 15% base tip and 3% for groups larger than 6 people with a $3 minimum. The Straight 15% Rule applies 15% of the bill amount. Results show the recommended tip and tip per person.

3. Common Quebec Tipping Methods
