About this calculator
Split pooled bar tips fairly among bartenders, barbacks, and support staff based on hours worked or shift roles.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the support staff weight work?
Barbacks or support staff often receive a percentage of a full bartender share since their role differs. Setting this to 50% means each support hour counts as half a bartender hour in the pool.
Can I use this for multiple bartenders with different hours?
Yes, enter the combined total hours for all bartenders, then multiply the resulting per-hour rate by each individual's hours to get their share.
Does this account for credit card processing fees on tips?
No, this calculator assumes the total tips entered are already net of any processing fees your venue deducts.
