How to Calculate Tips Per Hour

Calculating Tips Per Hour is simpler than you might think. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Determine the total amount of tips received.

[\text{Tips Per Hour} = \frac{\text{Total Tips Received}}{\text{Total Work Time}}]

That's all there is to it!

Where:

  • Total Tips Received is your entire tip amount in dollars (or your local currency).
  • Total Work Time is your working hours.
