Frequently Asked Answers
How do I accurately calculate my hourly wage as a waiter?
To calculate your true hourly wage, you must add your hourly base pay to your total tips, subtract your tip-outs to support staff (bussers, bartenders), and divide that net income by the total hours worked. Apps like TipStash automate this exact formula daily.
What is the best way to track tips for taxes?
The most reliable way to track tips for taxes is to use a dedicated digital logbook app like TipStash. It creates a timestamped record of every shift's earnings, which can then be exported into a spreadsheet for your accountant or tax software.
