Tip & Bill Split Calculator

Tipping Culture in India

Tipping is customary but not mandatory in India. Unlike the USA where 15–20% tips are expected, Indian tipping customs are more informal and the amounts are smaller. Here is a general guide to tipping in different situations in India:

• Restaurants (sit-down, mid-range): 5–10% of the bill. Many restaurants add a service charge (5–10%) automatically — check before tipping extra.
• Restaurants (fine dining): 10% if service charge is not included. Verify on the bill first.
• Hotel housekeeping: ₹50–100 per day for budget hotels, ₹100–200 for luxury hotels.
• Taxi / cab (Ola, Uber): Not mandatory — the app handles payment. A small cash tip of ₹20–50 is appreciated for long rides.
• Food delivery (Swiggy, Zomato): ₹10–30 is appreciated, especially during rain or late night.
• Salon / spa: ₹50–100 for the service person, not the cashier.
