They set their own prices.  Just set the fucking price 25% higher if that’s what you wanted.

They do this for the same reason stores prices things at $3.99 instead of $4.00. Our stupid monkey brains see a smaller number and immediately ignore all the associated details that make it not a smaller number. 

By calling the 25% a tip, they get to advertise their rates lower than they actually are. They draw in customers with what seems like a good deal, and then since people are already there they just pay it anyway.

I'm directly appalled by the word tip, so I guess my monkey brain functions differently.

saving you $4000.

It might actually be as high as $5,500, depending on how "make 100k" is defined.
