## What is Tip Breakdown?

Split your shift's tips in seconds.

Tip Breakdown does the end-of-night math for bartenders, servers and barbacks — two calculators in one app.

Tip Calculator: count the cash, enter the total, and see what everyone gets, split equally or by the hours each person worked, with the barback paid first as a flat amount or a percentage. Shares come out in whole dollars, with the remainder shown so your team can decide where it goes. Nothing is saved unless you choose to.

Report Tips: for tips you report through a payroll system. Credit card and service charge pools are split separately, a barback tip-out is taken proportionally so nobody covers more than their share, and every payout is broken out into the two figures each entry asks for. Choose a layout to match your business's report: Credit Card Only, Credit Cards and Service Charges, Evention, or your own line names. A quick setup on first launch helps you pick.

Tip Breakdown works the numbers out; you enter them yourself. It does not connect to Evention, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Evention.

• Tip Calculator: split the cash in whole dollars, equally or by hours, with a barback tip-out
• Report Tips: separate credit card and service charge lines
• Layouts to match your report, including Evention, picked in a quick setup
• Star your usual bar and every shift starts there
• Barback tip-out as a flat amount, a % of tips, or a % of sales
• A running CSV log of reported shifts you can open or export
• Share a reported shift with a coworker, who can import it
• Report a bug or suggest an idea from Settings
• Dark mode and adjustable text size
• Works entirely offline — no account, no tracking

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.5.0 — 2026-10-13

What's new in 1.5

• Quick setup: on first launch, a few short questions about how you work (your name, whether you split cash tips or report them, where you usually work, and how your tip report is laid out) get the app ready. Run it again any time from Settings → Tip Reporting Layout.
• Tip Reporting Layout: Report Tips in Settings has a new name and four layouts to choose from: Credit Card Only, Credit Cards and Service Charges, Evention, or Customize. Empty boxes show an example of what to rename them to.
• A second service charge line, for any business that reports one. If you already use the S&P line, it keeps its name.
• Default location: star a location in Settings → Locations and every shift starts there. With none starred, a new shift starts where your last one was.
• The keyboard gets out of the way: tap outside a box, or scroll, to close it. Tip Split no longer opens it as soon as you arrive.
• Names can't start with = + - or @, so your tip log opens safely in a spreadsheet.

### 1.4.0 — 2026-10-09

What's new in 1.4
 • Contact the developer: a new button in Settings opens an email to the developer, with the app version and your phone's model already filled in. Report a bug or suggest an idea in a few taps. Nothing is sent unless you send it.
 • A tidier Settings: it's now a short menu (Appearance, Change Your Name, Report Tips, Locations, and Tip and Cash Logs), with what's set shown on each row. Appearance comes first, since it's what people change most.
 • Add locations in Settings: set up the bars you work before your first shift there, not only while entering one.
 • One bar, no picking: if you've saved just one location, it's chosen for you on every shift.

### 1.3.0 — 2026-09-30

What's new in 1.3

• Tip Calculator: a new button on the home screen for splitting the cash at the end of the night. Pick who worked, tip out the barback if they're being paid from the pile, split equally or by hours, and enter the total you counted. Everyone's share shows in whole dollars, with the remainder beside it for your team to decide. Nothing is saved unless you tap Save.
• From your reported numbers to the cash in one tap: a Tip Calculator button on your results brings the same people and hours along.
• Name your lines: in Settings, rename the lines on the entry screen to match your business's report, and turn off service charge or the S&P line if you don't use them.
• Presets: choose Default, Evention or Custom. If you were already using Tip Breakdown, you're set to Evention, which names the lines the way your report does, so nothing you use has gone away.

### 1.2.0 — 2026-09-24

It carries dark mode (System / Light / Dark in Settings), hours and the barback figure kept when going back to fix the tips, a results screen that opens on the tip-out totals instead of repeating the user's own shift totals, and the rounding fix that keeps the stray cent with the user. Its What's New text is drafted below, and the screenshots have been retaken for the new results screen.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-09-11

• S&P 20% SRV: a new optional line on the shift totals screen. Anything you enter there is added to your service charge tips for you, so there's no more adding the two up first.
• Edit your team: tap the pencil next to anyone on the roster to fix a name or change a role, including your own.
• View your tip log any time: a new View Tip Log button in Settings opens it without saving a shift first.
• Fewer steps: when you're the only one splitting the tips, the app skips the split method screen and goes straight to your results.
• Your picks stay put: going back to fix your totals no longer clears who you selected.
• Safer numbers: amounts can't be negative or have more than two decimal places, and a barback percentage can't go over 100. If a barback tip-out would push anyone's line below zero, saving and sending the CSV stay off until it's fixed.
• Imported shifts now show each person's credit card and service charge amounts separately.
• Your tip log is better protected: redoing a saved shift can no longer leave the log empty if the app closes partway through.
