Tipped Wage Paycheck Calculator2026
Take-home pay for tipped work: base wage plus tips, taxes included.

Frequently asked questions
Does this include the tipped minimum wage or tip credit?
No. The federal tipped minimum wage and the employer tip credit vary by state, and this calculator does not include them in the math. Enter the actual base wage and tips you receive.
Are tips taxed?
Yes. Tips are wages: Social Security and Medicare apply to them, and they are subject to federal and state income-tax withholding like the rest of your pay.
