In restaurants without a service charge, 10% of the pre-tax subtotal is customary; where a service charge of about 12% is already printed, roughly 5% in cash handed to the server is the norm. Fixed baksheesh runs at roughly 20-50 EGP per bag for a porter, 20-80 EGP per night for housekeeping, and 200-700 EGP a day for a licensed Egyptologist guide covering the whole party.

About 5-10% in a restaurant with table service, rounded to a convenient figure, and simply rounding up to the next euro in a café, bar or taxi. On a €37.20 restaurant bill, saying 'vierzig' — pay forty — is a normal, well-received tip of roughly 7.5%.

About 10% of the pre-GST subtotal in a sit-down restaurant is the common city norm, with 5% at the modest end and 15% for genuinely good service. Fixed cash tips run around Rs 20-100 per bag for a bellhop, Rs 50-200 per night for housekeeping, Rs 200-500 a day for a hired driver and Rs 300-1,000 a day for a licensed guide covering the whole party.

Generally no. Full-service restaurants and hotels add a 10% service charge that functions as the gratuity, hawker centres charge exactly the price on the sign, and taxi fares are metered with no tip expected. Tipping is explicitly not permitted at Changi Airport. Private tour guides and luxury-hotel porters are the main exceptions.

Only lightly, and often not at all. After a sit-down dinner, around 5% is generous and 10% is reserved for exceptional service; after a coffee, a caña or a menú del día, locals leave the loose change or nothing. Leaving no tip in Spain is not read as a complaint the way it would be in the United States.

Yes, usually a further 5% in cash. The 10% service charge on most Dubai bills goes to the venue rather than being distributed to the staff who served you, so it does not function as a tip. Cash in dirhams handed directly to the server or therapist is the reliable way to make sure it reaches them.

Around 10% of the bill for good table service, and 12.5% if you want to be generous. First check whether a discretionary service charge — usually 12.5% — has already been added; if it has, no further tip is expected, and you are entitled to ask for it to be removed if the service was poor.

15% to 20% of the pre-tax subtotal, with 18% the safe everyday figure and 20% standard in major cities. Below 15% reads as a complaint about the service. Check first whether an automatic gratuity has been added — most restaurants apply 18-20% automatically for parties of six or more.
