I did a one-year calculation and came up with potentially thousands lost and I am a low income single service provider business! I'm afraid to do a longer calculation because it is utterly depressing. I've been asking for a fix to this problem since 2016! If more people start doing the calculation and reporting it, we may get some help!&nbsp;</P> Sat, 20 Sep 2025 19:36:01 GMT https://community.squareup.com/t5/Payments-Troubleshooting/Has-anyone-calculated-how-much-they-ve-potentially-lost-from/m-p/724207#M31306 lmtmarissa 2025-09-20T19:36:01Z https://community.squareup.com/t5/Payments-Troubleshooting/Has-anyone-calculated-how-much-they-ve-potentially-lost-from/m-p/727907#M31307 <P><a href="https://community.squareup.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/73032">@lmtmarissa</a>&nbsp;Well, I read your post and I understand why it is frustrating for you.&nbsp; This is one of those things where I can see both sides of the argument.&nbsp; Do you tip on the actual total or the gross total.&nbsp; I think in the restaurant industry you tip on the subtotal before taxes as customary.&nbsp; I know you should be able to toggle tip "before taxes" which does up the suggested amounts.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I guess the secondary question is why do you feel your product or service needs so many discounts?&nbsp; I tend to opt to not have as many discounts and price things effectively.&nbsp; But your industry or product might be different.&nbsp; I would look at your pricing scenario and see what you can do to compensate in another way.&nbsp; IT is a double edged sword, and if your tip amount gets too high you might not get as much etc.</P> Tue, 14 May 2024 14:44:56 GMT https://community.squareup.com/t5/Payments-Troubleshooting/Has-anyone-calculated-how-much-they-ve-potentially-lost-from/m-p/727907#M31307 Donnie-M 2024-05-14T14:44:56Z
