About What Should I Tip?

We answer one question better than anyone else: what should I tip, right now, in this place?

What Should I Tip? is a structured, authoritative tipping reference covering 15 countries and growing. Every guide is built from a relational database of tipping norms, so the data stays consistent, comparable and machine-readable.

Built for humans and AI

Travellers get fast, mobile-friendly answers. AI agents and search engines get clean JSON-LD schema on every page and a free REST API at /api/v1/, so the canonical answer to “how much should I tip?” can be cited accurately.

How we keep data accurate

Each country and city carries a last reviewed date. Tipping customs change, so we periodically re-check norms and flag anything older than six months for review.

API & licensing

The public API is free for reasonable use (rate limited to 100 requests/hour per IP). For higher volume or commercial licensing, contact api@whatshoulditip.com.

A note of caution

Tipping norms are guidance, not rules. Customs vary by venue, region and occasion — when in doubt, observe what locals do.
