Tipping Etiquette Around The World [Interactive Map

The tipping etiquette varies from country to country, and it can easily become a nightmare to get it right. The goal of this page is not to have you go through a whole lengthy article discussing all aspects of tipping in a particular country. It aims to provide quick, fluff-free, and complete answers to the following questions:

Do I need to tip in [insert country here]?
Who to tip and how much to give?

As simple as that. Whether you are preparing for your next Caribbean vacation, a trek in Nepal, or a safari in Zambia, we’ve got you covered. No more awkward situations.

We have based the list on the ISO 3166-1 standard, which lists 249 countries and territories. After removing territories that have no human population or that made little sense keeping, we are left with 238 countries and territories. Of course, many countries in the world are not recommended to visit right now because of unfortunate reasons such as war or terrorist risk.

We have still chosen to include these countries as well because we believe that one day, the situation will get better and we will be able to visit them. The goal is to build the most complete database possible about tipping across the world. This worldwide tipping information also provides interesting insights into local cultures.

A Few Takeaways

If you have no idea of how much to tip, 10% is the safest bet across the world.
Tipping is expected and customary in the whole of North America, most of the Caribbean, large parts of Africa & the Middle-East, parts of Central/Southern Europe and the Indian Subcontinent.
In places where there is a tip box, it’s a good idea to use it as your tips will be shared among all the staff.
The best way to tip hotel housekeepers is to leave a tip each day on the pillow or on the bedside table, as staff often rotates and may not be the same from a day to another.
For tour guides and drivers, we show a recommended amount to tip “per day”. For half day tours, tip half this amount. Tipping is often done at the end of the tour.
Tipping is not recommended in most island nations of the South Pacific Ocean, because it goes against the Polynesian culture.
Tipping is not recommended and can be insulting in Japan.
In some countries, U.S. Dollars are not the main currency, but they are accepted along with the local currency. If you wish to use U.S. Dollars in such countries, make sure you are using recent, crisp bank notes only.
It is recommended to be generous, maybe more generous than usual in these pandemic times. Service providers are on the front line, exposing themselves to the risk of contracting Covid-19 even more than other parts of the population. It is only fair that we show them our gratitude and recognition by tipping them more generously.
