About TipFig
Your trusted source for free tip calculators
Who runs TipFig
TipFig is an independent editorial research project run by The TipFig Editorial Team. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any restaurant group, payroll provider, tax preparation firm, or financial institution — and we do not process tips or payroll on your behalf. The team is responsible for every page, figure and tool on this site.
Our approach
Data is compiled from primary sources — IRS revenue procedures, state Departments of Revenue and Labor, the Department of Labor tipped-minimum-wage rules, and published industry guidance — with retrieval dates on every page and figure. Every figure is verified against its source before publication; anything unverified is marked as pending or omitted. Figures are refreshed annually and when federal or state rules change, such as the 2026 OBBBA tip provisions.
Our Mission
At TipFig, our mission is to make tipping easy and stress-free for everyone. We believe that calculating tips should be quick, accurate, and transparent — no math skills required.
Whether you're dining out with friends, splitting a bill at a restaurant, or figuring out how much to tip when taxes are included, our calculators provide instant, reliable results.

Editorial Process & Fact-Checking
Accuracy is central to everything we do. Every calculator, guide, and reference article undergoes a rigorous editorial review process. Our team cross-references all data points against primary sources such as the National Restaurant Association, Bureau of Labor Statistics, and IRS. State sales-tax rates are reviewed against each state's revenue department and updated as rates change.

- U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics: Wage and employment data.

What we are not
We are not a payroll company, a law firm, or a tax preparation service. Where a payroll provider, CPA, or tax professional helps, we point to reputable licensed providers, but we hold no special endorsement from them and recommendations are never paid for. Calculator outputs are educational estimates, not a filing position or payroll advice — always verify current rules with your employer or a qualified professional before acting.
