About
Tipping Calculators answers one question per page — how much to tip for a given job — and then does the math for your exact situation.
The idea
Most tipping pages bury a single number under a wall of essay, or push a percentage widget that ignores what actually changes the answer. This site does the opposite: it posts the customary range up top, and gives you a short calculator that reprints a real cash figure when you add the details that matter — crew size, hours, stairs, a service charge.
What you get
- The customary range for the job, stated plainly.
- A calculator that turns it into a dollar figure for your case.
- The edge cases — when to give more, and when $0 is honest.
- Sources behind every number, on the how-we-set-our-numbers page.
Where the numbers come from
Every range is compiled from established etiquette guides and industry sources, dated, and reviewed. You can read exactly how on How we set our numbers.
