How does tip pooling work?

Each staff member gets a share proportional to their weighted hours. Weight reflects role contribution — servers typically get a full share (1.0x), support staff a partial share.

Are tip pooling calculations legally required?

Requirements vary by country and state. Consult your local labor laws and a payroll professional before implementing a tip pool.

Can I customize role weights?

Yes — select 'Custom' for any staff member and enter any weight from 0.1 to 2.0.

Does this handle tip outs vs tip pools?

This calculator handles proportional tip pooling (total pooled, then distributed). For tip-out arrangements where servers keep their own tips and pay a percentage to support staff, adjust accordingly.
