Tipping around the world

Search a country or scroll the list: learn the tipping customs so you don't offend (or overpay) while traveling.

What it's for

Tipping rules vary hugely by country: where it's mandatory (US), where it's offensive (Japan) and where rounding up is enough. This guide helps you get it right.

Note

These are general indications of the most common customs: in tourist spots service may already be included, always check the bill.
