Share = Pool × (hours × weight) ÷ total(hours × weight).
In “by hours worked” every weight is 1, so the split is simply proportional to hours.
Shares are rounded to the cent, and any leftover pennies go to the largest shares first —
so the payouts always add up to the pool exactly.
Enter the total tips and at least one staffer with hours above to see each payout.
How It Works
No black box. Here is exactly what this tool does — and a few honest realities worth knowing before you set a house policy.
A tip pool combines everyone’s tips and splits the total by an agreed rule — often hours worked. A tip-out is when tipped staff hand a share to support roles (bussers, bartenders, runners). Either way, the core question is the same: how do you divide one pot fairly? This tool does that split math.
Whether tips can be pooled at all, and who may be included, depends on your jurisdiction and on whether staff are tipped or non-tipped roles. The rules genuinely differ from place to place. Check your local labor law — or a qualified advisor — before setting a policy. This tool doesn’t give legal advice; it only does the arithmetic on numbers you enter.
Weighting shares by role — say a server at 1.0 and a busser at
0.5 — is a policy the house sets, not a formula handed down. There’s
no universal “correct” weight. Pick weights everyone understands, and apply them
the same way every shift.
The fastest way to lose staff trust is a split nobody can follow. Whatever rule you choose, make it visible: same inputs, same math, every time. This tool shows each person’s hours, weight, and percentage of the pool so the split is easy to explain and easy to check.
This is a math tool for splitting tips, not legal, tax, or payroll advice. Tip-pooling rules vary by jurisdiction and by role — confirm what applies to you before setting a policy. BOOJEE does not run payroll or pay out tips; this tool only does the split arithmetic on the numbers you enter.
