About Hotel Tip Calculator
Hotel tipping is a set of small per-service amounts rather than a percentage of the bill. Housekeeping accrues nightly, porters are usually tipped twice - once on arrival and again on departure - and concierge requests are tipped per favour, so the total is easy to underestimate on a long stay.
Formulas
Housekeeping
Total = tip per night x nights
Porter
Total = bags x tip per bag x 2 for arrival and departure

Assumptions and limits
- The result is derived only from the 6 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
- In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax, fees or charges or compounding frequency into account.
- Figures are rounded for display to 2 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.
How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I tip housekeeping daily or at the end?
Daily, because staff rotate and the person cleaning on your last day may not be the one who cleaned earlier in the stay.
Do tipping norms vary by country?
Enormously. Service is included and tipping is uncommon in much of Europe and Japan, while it is expected in North America. Adjust the per-service amounts accordingly.
