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
