Tip Calculator

Daily split first. Advanced rules when needed.
Use simple mode for a clean service-day ledger, or switch into grouped and role-weighted distribution when the venue policy is more formal.
Operating Mode
Simple mode is the front door. Advanced mode still supports grouped pools, role weighting, adjustments, and rounding control.
Daily split by hours after percentage or flat cut-outs Advanced grouped payouts when the policy gets nuanced Exportable records and a plain-language payout summary
Working Session
Reset the sheet, save a local draft, copy the payout summary, or export the current split once the figures are ready.
Period
Simple Split

Daily service ledger

Enter the collected tips, take out any fixed kitchen or house amounts, then add staff names and hours. The remaining pot is shared by hours worked.
Team
Keep this list tight: only names receiving a share from this pot, with the hours worked for this shift or day.

Cut-Outs
Each cut-out can be a percentage of the pot or a flat amount. Use these for kitchen shares, tronc removals, or any money that should leave before the hours split happens.
Kitchen cut-out
Before split
Use this when part of the pot leaves for kitchen, tronc, or a fixed venue share before FOH hours are counted.
Other cut-out
Before split
Use this for anything else that should be removed cleanly before the remaining pot is shared by hours.

Keep the simple sheet for one pot, one day, one clean split. Switch to advanced when groups or role weights need to be formal.
If the kitchen share is being handled separately later, place that amount into the kitchen cut-out so this record only reflects the remaining FOH or service-facing split.
