Enter your setup
Choose the market you’re working in, your current caddie level, what percentage of your loops are doubles, and how many rounds you work.
Higher-end NY private clubs typically support stronger per-bag tipping than many other markets.
This controls the estimated tip per bag for your selected market.
This blends your earnings using a mix of single-bag and double-bag loops instead of forcing just one bag type.
Estimates are based on typical private-club tip ranges and should be treated as directional, not guaranteed. Club standards, caddie yard, loop volume, season length, and player generosity all affect results.
