Look up tipping customs, expected percentages, and etiquette for countries worldwide.
Enter a country name and get its tipping norm: the customary percentage for restaurant table service, whether a service charge is already on the bill, whether rounding up is what locals actually do, and what is expected for taxis, hotel staff, and guides. The result is a range describing what locals typically do, not a rule. The thing most travelers get wrong is assuming percentage tipping is universal: for most of the world the answer is no tip at all or a small rounded-up amount, and in a few countries, including Japan, offered cash is politely refused.
A concrete input and expected output from the current implementation.
Input
Japan
Expected output
No tipping expected. Table service, taxis, and hotels: leave nothing. Staff will typically refuse extra cash, and a server may run after you to return change left by mistake. The local equivalent of a tip is a polite thank-you; rounding up a taxi fare is acceptable but never required.
Japan is the strongest counter-example to percentage tipping: service is priced into the meal and staff decline gratuities, so the entry returns a no-tip norm rather than a percentage. The surprise is real: a traveler from a tipping culture is more likely to offend by over-tipping than by under-tipping here.
Every country lookup returns a short norm rather than a table of rules: the usual percentage for sit-down restaurant service where percentage tipping exists, whether a service charge is included in the bill, whether rounding up is the local habit, and short notes for taxis, hotel porters, and tour guides. A single figure would mislead, because in most countries the right action depends on the situation, not on a percentage.
The returned figure is the customary local range, stated as what residents normally do, not what staff are owed. Treat the top of the range as the safe choice when you are unsure. Where the entry says service is included, rounding up rather than adding a second full percentage is the norm, and in no-tip countries the correct action is to leave nothing, since refusal is the expected response.
Correct. Table service in Japan is priced into the meal, and staff will normally refuse extra cash; some restaurants will even run after you to return change left behind. A polite thank-you is the expected gesture, and rounding a taxi fare up is acceptable. It is one of the most consistent no-tip norms in the world.
Check what the entry says about service being included. Where it is, as in most of Europe, the charge replaces the tip and locals round up rather than add a second percentage. Where the entry expects tipping on the bill, the printed charge is a separate fee and the stated percentage applies in addition.
