Tipping can often be a confusing practice, especially when traveling to a different country where the norms and expectations around tipping may be quite different. In Australia, for instance, tipping is not as common or expected as it is in countries like the United States. However, it is becoming increasingly popular in metropolitan and tourist-focused areas.

The Australian Tipping Calculator is a tool designed to help both locals and tourists navigate the sometimes confusing world of tipping in Australia. This tool takes into consideration the type of service received and the quality of the service to suggest an appropriate tip amount.

The Australian Tipping Calculator takes the guesswork out of tipping. It provides guidance based on the type of service, ensuring that users are neither over-tipping nor under-tipping.
