Question

How do I change tip calculations (before or after tax)?

Answer

The default setting for tip calculation is to calculate tip before tax is added to a check. To make a change, follow these steps:
 

  1. In Toast Web, navigate to Front of house > Order screen setup > UI options.
  2. Scroll down to the Tipping section and select your desired configuration for the Tip/Tax setting.
    1. Calculate Tip Before Tax (default) example:
      1. $10 sandwich + 10% sales tax = $11
      2. 20% tip is calculated on $10 sandwich = $2.00
  3. Calculate Tip After Tax example:
    1. $10 sandwich + 10% sales tax = $11
    2. 20% tip is calculated on $11 (sandwich + tax) = $2.20
  4. Save and publish any changes.
