BRPOutpost Estimates suggest the US collects $15-25B annually in federal taxes on tip income (income + payroll), based on $38B reported tips in 2018 and projections. This is much lower than the $108B net tariff receipts in FY2025's first X months (surpassing the $87B cited). Tariffs clearly generate far more revenue.
