Tipping Around the World

Tipping Norms by Country

USA and Canada: 15–20% expected in restaurants. UK: 10–15% optional, often included as service charge. Australia / New Zealand: not customary, entirely optional. Japan / South Korea: tipping can be considered rude. Europe: rounding up is common, 5–10% for good service.

When to Tip More or Less

Exceptional service: 20–25%. Standard service: 15%. Poor service: 10% (or speak to management). For takeaway and counter service, 0–10% is typical where any tip is expected.

Service Charge vs Tip

Many restaurants add a 10–12.5% service charge automatically. If it appears on your bill, any additional tip is entirely discretionary. Always check whether service is included before calculating.
