Restaurant Tip Pool Calculator

Service charge or pooled tips need to land fairly. This tool distributes a total tip pool across roles using either a point system (manager 1.5, server 1.0, busser 0.6, kitchen 0.8) or hours-worked weighting.

Pick a method and stick with it

The only thing worse than an unfair tip method is changing the method mid-month. Pick points-based or hours-based, post it visibly in the back office, and run it through this tool every payday.

Compliance check

Indian Consumer Protection Act 2019 says service charge is voluntary for the customer — once collected, distribute it through payroll with the appropriate tax treatment. Do not hand cash without a paper trail.
