# No Tax on Tips 2026 calculator

Estimate your federal qualified tips deduction after the $25,000 cap and income phase-out, and a ballpark federal income-tax savings at a rate you choose.

## How it works

Inputs: your qualified tips for the year, anything that isn’t really a tip, filing status, MAGI, occupation on the IRS list, and a marginal rate you choose. Method: qualified tips capped at $25,000 per return, reduced by $100 for each full $1,000 of MAGI over $150,000 ($300,000 joint); married filing separately can’t claim it. Federal income tax only; Social Security and Medicare still apply.

TipMax Answers explains public government guidance on pay and workplace rules in plain English for tipped workers. It is **not legal, tax, or accounting advice**. Rules change and local rules can add to them. Confirm with the agency linked on this page or a qualified professional. TipMax the app helps you track tips and pay; it doesn’t enforce wage law or decide disputes.
