- How to split tips by hours: a worked tip pool example
How to split tips by hours worked, step by step: one real pool, four people, every share to the cent, and what to do with the leftover pennies.
- Tip out percentage: what a tip-out on sales really costs you
A tip out on sales is a bigger share of your tips than it looks. A tip-out percentage chart by tip rate, a bar tip-out, and a full shift worked through.
- Tip pool point system: how points work, with a worked example
How a tip pool point system works: points per role, points times hours, a five-person pool worked to the cent, and when points alone short-changes people.
Log the shift, keep the history
TipCup is the app these calculators come from. After a shift you put in cash tips, card tips and sales; it works out each tip-out from your job's rules, shows the math line by line, and gives you your real hourly after tip-outs.
Every shift is saved to your account, so your history moves with you to a new phone, and logging works with no signal. When you need proof of income, it's all there by week, month and year.
