How the Tip-Out Calculator Works
Servers often share a percentage of their tips with support staff — bussers, bartenders, food runners — called the tip-out. Multiply your total tips by the tip-out percentage to find what you pass on, and subtract it to see what you keep. On $300 in tips with a 20% tip-out, you give $60 and keep $240.
Tip-out rates and rules vary by restaurant and are sometimes based on sales rather than tips. This uses a percentage of your tips, the most common method. Always follow your workplace’s specific policy.
you keep = total tips − (total tips × tip-out %)
