Enter the tip pool and your team's hours or points — get every payout instantly, per shift or per week.
Rules on who can share a tip pool vary by state — managers generally can't participate, and some states restrict back-of-house inclusion. Check your state's labor rules before adopting a structure.
In a tip pool, tipped employees contribute some or all of their tips to a shared pot that's redistributed by a formula. The two most common methods are the ones in this calculator:
Under federal law, managers and supervisors can't take from a tip pool. If the employer takes a tip credit, the pool can generally include only customarily tipped roles; if everyone is paid full minimum wage, back-of-house can usually be included. States layer their own rules on top — check your state's labor department before adopting a structure, and put the policy in writing.
Digital tips from online orders count too. If direct orders flow through your own ordering channel, tips arrive with the payout and are easy to pool — unlike marketplace tips, which some platforms have historically… handled creatively.
