How it works
Add up all the hours, including yours. Your share is the pool multiplied by your hours, divided by that total.
Each hour is worth the same share, so someone who worked twice as long gets twice the tips. This calculator uses hours only, so check your workplace's policy, since some places weight roles differently.
Worked example
A pool of $420.00 shared across 26 hours comes to $16.15 an hour, so your share is $113.08.
Questions
Who should be in the pool?
That depends on the workplace and its rules. Include the people the pool is meant to cover, and count only the hours worked in the period.
Can I split by role instead?
This calculator uses hours only, so a split weighted by role needs its own sheet. Ask for the policy if the split is not by hours.
What if some tips came on a card?
Enter the full pool for the period, whether the tips came in cash or on a card.
