FAQ

How is "take-home" calculated?
Gross earnings (hourly + tips + any base pay) minus tip-out, minus a 1099 mileage deduction if applicable, minus estimated federal tax (2026 marginal brackets), estimated state/local tax, and FICA (7.65% for W-2, 15.3% self-employment for 1099). It is an estimate — always shown with "Estimates only. Consult a tax professional."
Do you connect to my bank or employer?
No. TipJar never links a bank, never connects to an employer or payroll system, and never files taxes. Everything stays on your device.
Is my data backed up?
Data lives on your device. Plus members can turn on encrypted iCloud sync, stored in your own private iCloud zone. You can also export everything to JSON at any time.
How do I cancel a subscription?
Open Settings → Manage Subscription, or your Apple ID → Subscriptions. Cancel anytime; there is no timer or pressure in the app.
A state's tipped minimum looks wrong.
Wage data is bundled and refreshed via app updates. Email us the state and figure and we'll verify against the state labor department and ship a correction.
