TipPouch, a calculator for the shift after the shift
A private in-browser calculator for servers and bartenders that subtracts tip-out and converts net tips into an hourly rate.
Field notes
TipPouch models a shift using three user-entered values: gross tips, hours worked, and tip-out, with the deduction available as either a dollar amount or percentage. It keeps the gross, deduction, net tips, shift length, and tip rate visible rather than collapsing them into one result. The page reports zero uploads for calculator entries and distinguishes tip earnings per hour from base wage. It also points to a locally saving iPhone app for weekly tracking, but that capability is presented as a stated app feature rather than verified here.
