Tip Pool Splitter

A role weight scales a worker's hours relative to others in the pool. A server at weight 1.0 earns a full proportional share per hour. A busser at weight 0.5 earns half as many tip dollars per hour worked. You can set any weight between 0.1 and 2.

Set all role weights to 1.0. With equal weights the split becomes purely proportional to hours worked, so a worker who put in 10 hours out of 40 total receives exactly 25 percent of the tip pool, regardless of their role title.

Rounding each person's share to two decimal places can cause the total to differ by a cent or two. In practice, the largest share holder is typically adjusted by the remainder.

Federal law allows tip pooling among employees who customarily receive tips, including servers, bartenders, and bussers. Under the 2018 FLSA amendments, back-of-house staff can be included if no tip credit is taken. State laws vary, so confirm local regulations.
