Result
How it works
- Enter the total tip pool for the shift.
- Add each staff member's hours worked.
- Get each person's share of the pool.
The method
The total pool is divided proportionally to hours worked, so someone who worked twice as long as a coworker receives twice the share.
FAQ
How is the pool split by hours worked?
Each staff member's share is proportional to their hours worked out of total hours logged by the whole team for that shift.
Can I split evenly instead of by hours?
Yes — choose an even split if your team pools tips equally regardless of hours worked.
Does this account for local tip pooling laws?
No — tip pooling rules vary by jurisdiction and role; check your local labor laws before finalizing a distribution method.
