Tipping in India varies by city and venue. After CCPA guidelines, service charge is voluntary — you should not be forced to pay it. Use a tip calculator to split fair gratuity among friends without mental math at the table.
Typical tipping norms (informal)
- Casual dining — 5–10% if service was good and no service charge
- Fine dining — 10% on pre-tax subtotal is common
- Food delivery — ₹20–₹50 or round up bill
- Salon / spa — 10% to stylist optional
