About TipGuide
Our Mission
TipGuide helps people navigate tipping situations with confidence. Whether you're dining out, traveling, or using services, our calculators and guides take the guesswork out of tipping etiquette.
Why TipGuide Exists
Tipping can be confusing and stressful. Different services have different expectations, regional customs vary, and calculating percentages on the spot isn't always easy. Many people worry about under-tipping (appearing cheap) or over-tipping (wasting money unnecessarily).
We created TipGuide to solve these problems with:
- Easy-to-use calculators for restaurants, delivery, salons, hotels, and more
- Clear guidelines based on industry standards and regional norms
- Educational content explaining tipping culture and etiquette
- Scenario-based learning to practice real-world situations
Our Methodology
Our tipping recommendations are based on:
- Industry-standard practices in the United States
- Guidance from service industry professionals
- Regional tipping customs and variations
- Contemporary tipping culture (updated regularly)
- Fair compensation standards for service workers
Important: Our calculators provide suggested ranges based on typical scenarios. Actual tip amounts should consider service quality, special circumstances, and your personal budget.
