Tipping · 🇮🇩

Tipping in Indonesia

Customary: 5%–10%. Not expected. Worth leaving at nicer restaurants with no service charge.

At restaurants

What is customary: Not expected — welcome, but nobody is counting

Worked example

On a Rp500,000 bill, 5% is Rp25,000, so you would hand over Rp525,000.

Tour guides

On a “free” walking tour, the tip is the fare: about Rp100,000 per person.

On a paid tour, 10% of the price on top.

Expected on guided trips. On Bali day tours the driver is usually tipped too.

Indonesia uses the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). Today 1 USD is 17,765.00 IDR.
