Tipping in Canada

Customary: 15%–20%. 15–20%, as in the United States. Card terminals prompt before tax in some provinces.

At restaurants

What is customary: A share of the bill, at any size

Worked example

On a C$50.00 bill, 15% is C$7.50, so you would hand over C$57.50.

Tour guides

On a “free” walking tour, the tip is the fare: about C$20.00 per person.

On a paid tour, 15%–20% of the price on top.

As the United States: guiding is a tipped job and the tip is expected, not earned.
