TipSplit: Tip-Pool Calculator & Payout Sheet

TipSplit: Tip-Pool Calculator & Payout Sheet ships as a ready-to-import n8n automation package: load the bundled workflow JSON, connect the credentials listed on this page, and activate it on self-hosted n8n or n8n Cloud.

Turn a week of shifts into an auditable tip-pool payout: role-based percentages calculated to the cent, a per-employee audit row in your sheet, and a breakdown emailed to payroll.

Calculate role-based tip pools to the cent — percentages, tip-out rates and weighted hours, all from one sheet
Prove every payout with a per-employee audit row appended to your Payouts tab each pay period
Catch tip-law mistakes before payday: percentages that miss 100, duplicate roles and unknown job titles block the run
Email payroll a breakdown staff can read — what each person paid in, kept, and earned back
Split remainders with the largest-remainder method so pennies are never created or lost
Skip nobody quietly: out-of-period rows, bad dates and under-hours staff are counted and reported
Never double-pay a period — the run is deduped and only marked paid after the email actually sends

How it works

Workflow summary

One workflow handles everything end-to-end.

1Runs every payday on a schedule in your timezone, or on demand via a webhook for previews and re-runs
2Reads the role rules and the pay period's shifts from the Google Sheet your POS exports into
3Pools the tips from contributing roles and splits them by each role's percentage, then by hours, equally, or by what each person collected
4Blocks the payout and lists the problems instead when rules are broken, a role is missing, or a manager is taking a share
5Appends one audit row per employee to the Payouts tab so every number can be reproduced later
6Emails payroll the payout sheet showing each employee's hours, tips, payout, tip-out, and the exact formula used
7Marks the period paid only after the email succeeds, so the same period can never be paid twice

FAQ

About this template

How long does it take to set up TipSplit: Tip-Pool Calculator & Payout Sheet?

Most people finish in minutes following the guide. If you’ve never used n8n before, budget an hour — the first workflow is always the slowest.

What if I get stuck?

Email support@n8ntemplatestore.com. Free basic support is included with every purchase, and you’ll get a reply from our team within 24 hours. If setup needs more than email, we can schedule a call.

Do I need to pay for Google Sheets?

API costs are separate and go directly to the provider — typically a few dollars a month at most for a solo business. Full breakdown is in the setup guide.

Can I customize the workflow?

Yes, completely. You own the .json — edit nodes, swap in your own prompts, re-wire the logic. Our support team can help you plan customizations over email.

What if it doesn’t work for me?

Refunds are issued only as described in our Refund Policy (https://n8ntemplatestore.com/refund-policy). Or add Setup Service at checkout for a live install and test session — pick any tier you prefer.
