Ever ask yourself, How much should I tip the barista for that Cinnamon Toast Crunchuccino?<\/em> What about the pizza guy? Or your barber or hair stylist? You\u2019re not alone! Tipping can be pretty awkward (and filled with guilt). We\u2019ve all experienced that fight-or-flight moment when the iPad of doom flips around and you hear the dreaded words: \u201cIt\u2019s just going to ask you a few questions.\u201d Ugh. If you\u2019ve been there, done that, it doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re not a generous person. It probably just means you aren\u2019t sure about the rules.\n <\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u2022\u00a0 \u00a0 How to Calculate Your Tip\n <\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start by talking about how much you should tip at all types of restaurants, because that can be tricky (especially with these new iPad tipping screens popping up everywhere).\n <\/p>\n

How Much to Tip at Restaurants<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Sit-Down Restaurants<\/h3>\n

When you eat at a sit-down restaurant, you should tip your server or waiter 15\u201320%. If you\u00a0had outstanding service or you really\u00a0want to be generous, go for the 25% mark. Many servers make around $2 per hour,\u00a0so they\u2019re counting on those tips to make ends meet.1\u00a0<\/sup>\n <\/p>\n

You should consider the tip part of the overall cost of dining out. Meaning, if you can\u2019t afford to tip your server, then you shouldn\u2019t be eating out to begin with.\n <\/p>\n

But George, what if I get really bad service?<\/em>\u00a0Hey, sometimes waiters have a bad day too. But you shouldn\u2019t skip the tip altogether. If you want to knock that 20% down to 15%, that\u2019s okay.\n <\/p>\n

Fast-Food Restaurants<\/h3>\n

When it comes to fast-food (or \u201cfast casual\u201d) restaurants, pay attention to the kind of service you receive when you\u2019re figuring out how to tip. Do they bring the food to your table? Do they bus the table and tidy it up for you? If so, leave a few bucks in the tip jar or on the screen if you\u2019re feeling extra generous. But don\u2019t feel obligated. It\u2019s okay to bypass the tip in these quick and casual settings.\n <\/p>\n

Buffet Restaurants<\/h3>\n

Servers at a buffet may not bring food to your table, but they still refill your drinks and clear your plates. So. Many. Plates. Think about it: You\u2019ve got to grab a\u00a0new\u00a0plate for every visit back to the buffet, so you\u2019re making a lot of work for that person. Tip them!\n <\/p>\n

A good rule of thumb here is to tip at least 10%. Feel free to raise that if you get great service. Again, these servers make\u00a0very\u00a0little per hour. If everyone tipped just one extra dollar, it would make a big difference for the servers. \u00a0\n <\/p>\n

Takeout<\/h3>\n

Calculating a takeout tip is iffy. You shouldn\u2019t feel\u00a0pressure\u00a0to leave a tip when you pick up a takeout order, but it would be a nice gesture to leave the workers a little something-something. Assuming you\u2019re just grabbing one or two meals, rather than a massive group order, a few bucks will show your appreciation.\n <\/p>\n

Restaurant Delivery<\/h3>\n

This one\u2019s easy: You should absolutely tip for restaurant delivery. After all, someone brought that piping-hot pizza to your front door. Without them, you\u2019d probably be eating cold mac and cheese leftovers and that salami that\u2019s about to grow legs. Plus, you didn\u2019t have to leave the house (or change out of your pajamas).\n <\/p>\n

Be generous and give them 10\u201320%.\n <\/p>\n

Carhop<\/h3>\n

How much should you tip at a drive-in? If you\u2019re a regular at Sonic or a local mom-and-pop drive-in, tipping your carhop is up to you\u2014but I strongly encourage it. Carhops don\u2019t make much per hour (usually less than kitchen workers!), and I can tell you this: If I brought out a meal and drink on roller skates during the heat of summer and lived to tell the tale, I\u2019d be primed for a tip! I recommend 15\u201320%.\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Coffee Barista<\/h3>\n

You\u2019ve seen the little tip jar on the counter when you pick up your\u00a0morning cup of joe\u00a0(and if it\u2019s a trendy joint, the more stress-inducing iPad). It usually has a one-liner on it like \u201calms for the\u00a0pour\u201d or \u201cthanks a latte for your\u00a0tip.\u201d (A for effort. C+ for the puns.) So, what do you do?\n <\/p>\n

When it comes to coffee, you\u2019re not obligated to tip. But even though it\u2019s the employer\u2019s responsibility to pay their employees well, some service industry workers depend on tips to make ends meet. So if your barista went out of their way for you, why not put an extra dollar or two in that punny tip jar as a sign of thanks?\n <\/p>\n

Bartender<\/h3>\n

A good bartender or mixologist basically serves you liquid art. So tip your bartender\u2014especially if the drink is complex or requires mixing, shaking or stirring. Two dollars per drink is perfectly fair tipping etiquette here. Although if you run up a tab, it\u2019s kind to tip a standard 15\u201320%.\n <\/p>\n

Restroom Attendant<\/h3>\n

Yeah, it\u2019s an awkward one, but someday you\u2019ll thank me for including this tip on tipping. If you\u2019re in a swanky establishment, a restroom attendant might be part of the gig. If you\u2019re wondering how much you should tip them and you\u2019ve got a couple of bucks on you, feel free to offer it. If you don\u2019t, just smile and say thanks when they pass you a hand towel or a mint.\u00a0\n <\/p>\n

Valet<\/h3>\n

When you use convenience services, remember that convenience often costs money. So, if you treat yourself to a valet service instead of parking your own car, you should absolutely tip a few bucks. And if the valet service itself is free,\u00a0definitely\u00a0don\u2019t skip the tip. Have you seen how those guys hustle to make sure you get in your car lickety-split? The Flash couldn\u2019t do better. It\u2019s worth tipping $5\u201310.\n <\/p>\n

How Much to Tip for Grocery Services<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Grocery Store Bagger or Order Pickup Runner<\/h3>\n

A lot of grocery stores ask you not to tip the people who bag or carry out\u00a0your groceries. Some even flat-out tell their employees to refuse tips. You don\u2019t want to get them in trouble. But if the person is kind enough to carry your bags out to the car, express thanks with some kind words. Want to make a bigger impact? Check out their name tag and say their name as you thank them (without making it creepy). You\u2019d be surprised how few people do this\u2014and how much it could mean to the bagger.\u00a0\n <\/p>\n

The same tipping advice goes for people who prepare your drive-up or pickup orders.\u00a0Technically,\u00a0they aren\u2019t allowed to accept tips either\u2014so again, don\u2019t get them into trouble. Just offer a sincere thank-you. They\u2019re basically doing what\u2019s now become a regular part of working at a grocery store.\n <\/p>\n

Grocery Delivery Services<\/h3>\n

When figuring out how to tip for\u00a0grocery delivery, remember most of the gig workers at companies like Shipt and TaskRabbit count on tips as part of their income. Once you factor in transportation costs like gasoline, wear and tear on their car, and independent contractor taxes (not to mention time and energy spent shopping\u00a0for you), they really don\u2019t have much base pay left.\n <\/p>\n

So be nice. A 15\u201320% tip is a good rule of thumb for someone who braved the store, picked out the freshest avocados, waited in line, sat through traffic, and brought groceries right to your porch so you didn\u2019t have to. The same goes for stores like Walmart and Kroger that offer delivery services in-house.\n <\/p>\n

How Much to Tip at Salons and Spas<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Hair Stylist or Barber<\/h3>\n

Do you need to tip your hair person or your barber? You\u2019re darn right you do! After all, you\u2019re trusting these people with your precious hair. That\u2019s one of the strongest levels of trust there is! Tipping 15\u201320% is standard depending on their level of expertise and the service you received. But feel free to go higher, especially if you get a scalp massage or the highlights of your dreams.\n <\/p>\n

Manicurist<\/h3>\n

When it comes to nail services, here\u2019s what I\u2019ve learned from my wife: Tip like you\u2019d tip your hair stylist. With 15\u201320%, you can\u2019t go wrong.\n <\/p>\n

Tattoo Artist<\/h3>\n

It takes some pretty incredible skills (and trust) for someone to draw permanent art on your body\u2014and do it well. A good tattoo artist deserves a gratuity of 15\u201320%. But if they accidentally ink you up with \u201cNo Ragrets,\u201d you can probably skip the tip.\n <\/p>\n

Massage Therapist<\/h3>\n

Just like most other beauty or personal service providers, it\u2019s standard to tip massage therapists 15\u201320%. But if you get a massage or muscle work done as a regular part of your chiropractor visit or physical therapy appointment, you don\u2019t need to tip.\n <\/p>\n

How Much to Tip While Traveling<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Hotel Housekeeping<\/h3>\n

A lot of people don\u2019t realize they need to tip at hotels, so let\u2019s set the record straight. You should tip modestly (a couple of bucks) at a budget-friendly hotel and more generously at a nicer spot. In this new eco-friendly world, you might not want fresh sheets and towels every day, but on the days you request housekeeping, leave a tip for that day instead of one big tip at the end of your stay. A $5 bill with a note each time goes a long way. You might not get the same housekeeper throughout your stay, and you want to share the love with everyone who kept your room tidy.\n <\/p>\n

Concierge<\/h3>\n

I\u2019m convinced that concierges are magicians\u2014it seems like they can pull restaurant reservations and activities out of a hat. If your concierge has nabbed impossible-to-find tickets to a Broadway show or a hard-to-get reservation at a restaurant, then yes\u2014slip them a $10 or $20 bill for going above and beyond with their connections. If they just gave you quick directions to the nearest coffee shop, you can skip the tip. But be sure to thank them.\n <\/p>\n

Cabdriver<\/h3>\n

We all know to tip the cabdriver for taking us safely to our destination. But how much is too much? That depends on the length of your trip and how well your driver drives.\n <\/p>\n

If you feared for your life during the trip, that tip is going to be a big fat zero. If it was an overall safe and friendly drive, go ahead and tip 10\u201315%. Add an extra dollar or two if they helped you unload any luggage.\n <\/p>\n

Uber and Lyft Drivers<\/h3>\n

I love technology because you can easily tip your Uber or Lyft driver right in the mobile app instead of fiddling with cash. Most of them go out of their way to win you over with perks like snacks, drinks and phone chargers. So give Uber and Lyft drivers the same tip amount you would give cabdrivers (10\u201315%).\n <\/p>\n

Tipping Outside of the United States<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re traveling outside of the U.S., research ahead of time if tips are customary in that country. Other countries\u2019 cultural norms are way different than ours, and you don\u2019t want to offend anyone by leaving (or not leaving) a tip when you shouldn\u2019t (or should).\n <\/p>\n

How Much to Tip for Other Common Services<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Housecleaners<\/h3>\n

Hey, if you\u2019ve knocked out your debt and it\u2019s in your budget, there\u2019s nothing wrong with paying for a housecleaning service! The folks who clean houses for a living are really good at what they do. No wonder nearly 10% of households in the U.S. pay a professional service to clean their homes.2<\/sup>\u00a0So, how much should you tip\u00a0these top-notch housecleaners? A good goal is 15\u201320%.\n <\/p>\n

Flower Delivery<\/h3>\n

A nice bouquet of flowers speaks volumes to someone you care about. Nothing like gifting my wife a dying plant to show my\u00a0undying love, am I right? If you\u2019re sending flowers, tip $2\u20135 per arrangement. On the flip side, if you\u00a0receive\u00a0a display (or maybe a tasty fruit bouquet), it\u2019s most likely a surprise. You don\u2019t have to tip when receiving a gift. If you get excellent service and want to show appreciation, recommend that company to others. A word-of-mouth referral could bring them more business!\n <\/p>\n

Professional Movers<\/h3>\n

No doubt about it\u2014if your movers go the extra mile and help you bring in and set up your furniture, they deserve a tip. (Think about all that hard work!) And if they did an excellent job moving your home aquarium for exotic fish or your grandmother\u2019s old piano up three flights of stairs, they definitely deserve a tip. I suggest $10\u201350 per mover depending on the level of difficulty, attitude of the crew, and amount of stuff they were lugging around for you. Every situation is different, so use your best judgment.\n <\/p>\n

Cable Guy or Satellite and Internet Installer<\/h3>\n

With the convenience of streaming services like Netflix and Hulu, you might not use satellite and cable anymore. But we all need internet. And when the installer shows up at your house, they\u2019re just doing their job. It\u2019s not a service they\u2019re going out of their way to do for you. That said, if it\u2019s a blazing hot day, go ahead and \u201ctip\u201d them a cold bottle of water. And if it\u2019s the dead of winter, why not offer them a hot cup of coffee or tea?\n <\/p>\n

Contractor<\/h3>\n

By \u201ccontractor,\u201d I mean someone who offers contracted services like marketing for your business, filing your taxes, or building your website. Since they\u2019re doing the job you hired them to do at a predetermined rate, you don\u2019t have to tip them.\n <\/p>\n

Pest Control<\/h3>\n

Tipping the bug or rodent guy isn\u2019t expected, but it\u2019s appreciated\u2014especially if you call them on short notice. I suggest $10\u201320 for a standard extermination service.\n <\/p>\n

Carpet or Appliance Installers<\/h3>\n

People who deliver carpeting or appliances to your home and then install them typically don\u2019t expect tips. But if they offer great service and are careful about keeping your home in good shape during the installation, feel free to spot them about $10 each.\n <\/p>\n

Wedding Officiant<\/h3>\n

Whoever officiates your wedding\u2014whether it\u2019s your priest, your pastor, a guy at the courthouse, or an Elvis impersonator\u2014you should tip them. If it\u2019s not already required as part of the\u00a0wedding fees, hand the officiant $50\u2013100 in a nice thank-you card at the rehearsal. If they absolutely refuse to accept it, offer to make a donation to their church or their favorite charity instead.\n <\/p>\n

Babysitter<\/h3>\n

If your babysitter really helped you out (like agreeing to watch your little ones on short notice or cleaning up the aftermath of your child\u2019s stomachache), then maybe you should tip them. This isn\u2019t an absolute must. It\u2019s a nice gesture to acknowledge the trouble they went through, and it sets you up for a\u00a0yes\u00a0if you need them last-minute in the future. This can look like adding a little extra to their hourly rate or rounding up when you\u2019re figuring out what you owe.\n <\/p>\n

How Much to Tip During the Holidays<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Working\u00a0during the holidays\u00a0is really stressful for the good folks in retail and service industries, so don\u2019t be a Scrooge! You don\u2019t have to tip more than usual\u2014unless your hair person or plumber was able to squeeze you in out of the kindness of their heart during the hectic holiday season. But adding a \u201cMerry Christmas\u201d or including a card with your regular tip can make someone\u2019s day.\n <\/p>\n

And really, an extra $5 or a coffee gift card on top of your regular tip is a great way to spread some cheer for someone who serves you well all year long. It would also be a fantastic gesture to give a present to the barbers, delivery people or mechanics who help you throughout the year.\n <\/p>\n

How to Calculate Your Tip<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re going to tip a percentage of the bill, that means you\u2019ve got to calculate the darn thing. That can be intimidating, I get it. Especially if you\u2019re in a hurry to get up from the table to make it to the movies or put the kids to bed. But all you really need is a little easy math and the calculator on your phone.\n <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s an easy way to calculate a tip:\n <\/p>\n

1. Figure out what percentage you want to tip.\n <\/p>\n

2. Move the decimal point in that percentage two places to the left.\n <\/p>\n

3. Using your calculator, multiply\u00a0that\u00a0number by the total bill.\n <\/p>\n

That\u2019s how much you should tip.\n <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s an example: Let\u2019s say your total at Applebee\u2019s is $28. Your server did an outstanding job of making sure your fries were piping hot and your Oreo milkshake was piled with whipped cream, so you decide to tip them 20%. (Good call!)\n <\/p>\n

All you have to do is move the decimal on that percentage two places to the left (0.20), then multiply that by the cost of the meal ($28). And there you have it, folks\u2014you\u2019ll tip $5.60! You can do that for any percentage, whether it\u2019s 15%, 20% or 25%.\n <\/p>\n

You\u2019ll be an expert at tipping in no time.\n <\/p>\n

If You\u2019re Not Sure How Much to Tip, Be Generous<\/h2>\n

No matter what tipping situation you find yourself in, you can\u2019t go wrong with\u00a0being generous.\u00a0In fact, if you\u2019re in a good financial position, be weird in a culture of normal and broke. In other words, be\u00a0outrageously\u00a0generous. Remember, your tip says more about\u00a0you\u00a0than the person you\u2019re leaving it for. And if you budget for it, then tipping isn\u2019t a big deal at all!\n <\/p>\n

I suggest budgeting (for the tips, the groceries, the pizza, the ride-shares\u2014all of it!) with the Ramsey budgeting app, EveryDollar.\u00a0\n <\/p>\n

EveryDollar does more than just help you track your spending and manage your money\u2014it actually helps you find more margin every month! Just download the app, answer a few questions, and we\u2019ll build you a plan to free up thousands in margin to put toward your goals.\n <\/p>\n
