Splitting tips between front and back of house
First decide what part of the total goes to each role, for example 60% to the floor, 30% to the kitchen and 10% to the bar. Then each role splits its part among its people, by hours or equally.

How it is calculated
In the example, the floor takes 60% of €487.50 and splits it between Ana and Carlos by their hours: Ana, with 8 h, gets €156.00. The kitchen and the bar, with one person each, keep their whole part.
A worked example
€487.50 in tips between four people who worked 26 h in total. The figures come from the same calculation as the calculator.
| Person | Hours | Role | Gets |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ana | 8 h | Floor | €156.00 |
| Carlos | 7 h | Floor | €136.50 |
| Laura | 6 h | Kitchen | €146.25 |
| Pedro | 5 h | Bar | €48.75 |
| Total | 26 h | €487.50 |
How it was calculated
- Floor · 60%: €292.50 ÷ 15 h = €19.50 per hour
- Kitchen · 30%: €146.25 ÷ 6 h ≈ €24.38 per hour
- Bar · 10%: €48.75 ÷ 5 h = €9.75 per hour
Breakdown per person
- Ana: €156.00 (Floor · 60%) → €156.00
- Carlos: €136.50 (Floor · 60%) → €136.50
- Laura: €146.25 (Kitchen · 30%) → €146.25
- Pedro: €48.75 (Bar · 10%) → €48.75
See the exact calculation (all decimals)
- Floor · 60%: €292.50 ÷ 15 h = €19.50 per hour
- Kitchen · 30%: €146.25 ÷ 6 h = €24.375 per hour
- Bar · 10%: €48.75 ÷ 5 h = €9.75 per hour
- Ana: €156.00 (Floor · 60%) → €156.00
- Carlos: €136.50 (Floor · 60%) → €136.50
- Laura: €146.25 (Kitchen · 30%) → €146.25
- Pedro: €48.75 (Bar · 10%) → €48.75
No rounding needed: the amounts are exact.
When it works well
- When the kitchen or the bar do not receive tips directly but share the work of the service.
- When each role has a different number of people and you do not want that to decide its share.
- If you would rather each role counted differently per hour worked, use the points split.
To the cent, always
The split always adds up to the exact total. If rounding leaves spare cents, they go to whoever had the largest fraction, and the calculator shows you.
