About this calculator

In many restaurants, servers don't keep 100% of the tips they receive — they "tip out" a set percentage of their total sales (not just their tips) to support staff like bussers, bartenders, and food runners. A common structure might be 3% of sales to bussers and 2% to bartenders, taken off the top regardless of how much the server was actually tipped that shift.

This calculator multiplies your total sales by the tip-out percentage to find exactly how much you owe support staff, then subtracts that from your tips to show what you actually keep. Servers and bartenders use it to double-check tip-out math at the end of a shift, especially on busy nights when doing it by hand is error-prone.
