Hourly rate calculator with tips and tip-out
Updated October 21, 2026
Enter the hours you worked, your hourly wage, your tips, and what you tipped out. You get what the shift actually paid, including per hour. Nothing is saved and there is nothing to sign up for.
Calculate one shift
- Wages earned
- $84.00
- Net tips
- $83.20
- Total earnings
- $167.20
- Per hour
- $23.89
420 minutes is 7 hours. Per hour uses that full duration, including a shift under 30 minutes.
How to read the result
Wages earned is your hourly wage times the time you entered. Net tips is your tips minus what you tipped out, so it is what you kept. Total earnings adds the two. Per hour divides total earnings by the hours worked, which is usually higher than your wage alone. These are before taxes, and this is one shift, not a tax estimate.
A blank tip-out counts as $0, which is how TrackMyTips calculates $/hour when no tip-out is recorded yet. Type 0 when you know you tipped no one.
If your tip-out is a percentage
The calculator takes tip-out in dollars. Many restaurants set it as a percentage, either of your tips or of your sales, so ask which one yours uses and convert it first. Tipping out 20% of $210 in tips is $42. Tipping out 3% of $1,500 in sales is $45. TrackMyTips also asks for a dollar total rather than a percentage.
Two shifts, already worked
Server, with a tip-out: six hours, $8/hour, $210 in tips, $40 tip-out. Wages $48.00, net tips $170.00, total earnings $218.00, about $36.33/hour. The server tip tracker guide walks through it.
Hostess, with nothing given away: five hours, $15/hour, $22 in tips, tip-out $0. Wages $75.00, total earnings $97.00, about $19.40/hour.
Beyond one shift
A single shift can mislead. A short, busy close can show a huge hourly number that says little about your week. TrackMyTips keeps each shift's hours, wage, tips, and tip-out, then adds them up on Reports for This Week, Last Week, Last Month, or All Time. See how to track tips to get started.
Questions about this calculator
Does a shift under 30 minutes show $0.00 per hour?
No. Twelve minutes at $10/hour with $20 in tips and a $0 tip-out is $2.00 in wages, $22.00 total, and $110.00/hour. Per hour uses the full duration.
What if Total tip-out is blank?
The result subtracts $0, so net tips match total tips. In the app, a blank tip-out and a recorded $0 are different answers even though the dollars match. Type 0 when you know you tipped no one.
Is this my rate for the week?
No. This form is one shift. This Week, Last Week, Last Month, and All Time are report ranges, explained in hourly rate with tips and wages.
