Questions travelers ask

Good
questions.

Is tipping expected everywhere?

No. In the United States and Canada it is part of a server’s wage; in Japan and South Korea it can cause confusion; across much of Europe a service charge is already on the bill. Pick a country above to see the local norm for each service.

What if a service charge is already included?

Check the bill for “service”, “servizio”, “service compris” or a percentage line. If it is there, you have tipped. Rounding up or leaving small change is still a kind gesture where it is customary.

Should I tip in cash or on the card?

Where the calculator flags cash preferred, hand it over directly — card tips do not always reach the person who served you. Elsewhere, adding it to the card is fine.

How does the split work?

Set the number of people and the calculator shows the tip and the total each person owes, rounded to the currency’s smallest unit. Copy the summary and paste it into the group chat.
