No Tax on Tips Calculator
Estimate how much of your tip income you may deduct under the Working Families Tax Cuts (Section 70201) for tax years 2025–2028. The annual cap is $25,000, with MAGI phase-outs starting at $150,000 (single/head of household) or $300,000 (joint).
What Counts as Qualified Tips
Qualified tips are voluntary cash or charged tips from customers, including shared tips, that are properly reported (W-2, 1099, other statement, or Form 4137). Occupations must be ones the IRS identified as customarily and regularly tipped on or before December 31, 2024.
Who Qualifies
You generally need a Social Security number and tip income in a qualifying occupation. Both itemizers and non-itemizers may claim it. SSTB owners/employees are excluded.
Phase-Out Snapshot
| Filing status | Phase-out begins | Max tip deduction |
|---|---|---|
| Single / HoH | $150,000 MAGI | $25,000 |
| Married filing jointly | $300,000 MAGI | $25,000 |
This calculator uses a planning-friendly $100 reduction per $1,000 of MAGI over the threshold (same style as our overtime tool). Confirm final math on current IRS worksheets.
