Reverse Tip Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the Reverse Tip.

IB = FB / (1+T/100)
  • Where IB is the original bill amount before tip ($)
  • FB is the final bill amount ($) 
  • T is the tip percentage (%) 

To calculate a reverse tip, take the final bill amount and divide it by the result of 1 plus the tip percentage over 100.

How to Calculate Reverse Tip?

The following example problems outline how to calculate Reverse Tip.

Example Problem #1:

  1. First, determine the final bill amount ($).
    • The final bill amount ($) is given as: 100.
  2. Next, determine the tip percentage (%).
    • The tip percentage (%) is provided as: 15.
  3. Finally, calculate the Reverse Tip using the equation above: 

IB = FB / (1+T/100)

The values given above are inserted into the equation below and the solution is calculated:

IB = 100 / (1+15/100) = 86.956 ($)


Example Problem #2: 

For this problem, the variables required are provided below:

final bill amount ($) = 200

tip percentage (%) = 20

Test your knowledge using the equation and check your answer with the calculator above.

IB = FB / (1+T/100) = ?
