Quick answer

A 20% tip on a 60 haircut is 12, giving a total of 72 before any tax or deposit adjustment. Split that tip equally between two staff members and each receives 6. Choose your own percentage or fixed tip; tipping practices vary.

How to use

Enter the known values, check the selected units and assumptions, then calculate. Compare the result with the worked example. Copy, print or export the table when you need a record. Use the service price for the cut, colour or combined visit. Choose a percentage or a fixed tip. Equal shares distribute leftover cents one at a time, so the table adds up exactly. To tip staff unequally, calculate each service separately.

Formula and method

Total tip = Tip basis × % / 100; Balance due today = Total including tip − Credited deposit already paid

Worked example

Tip = 60 × 20 / 100 = 12; Total = 60 + 12 = 72; Tip per staff member = 12 / 2 = 6 (no tax or deposit)

Assumptions and limits

Ask the salon how tips are shared and whether gratuity is already included. Equal splitting is only an arithmetic option. Retail products can be left out of the service price. Currency amounts use two decimal places and do not perform exchange-rate conversion.
