Tipping · 🇨🇭

Tipping in Switzerland

Customary: 5%–10%. Service is included. Round up to the nearest franc or five.

At restaurants

What is customary: Service is usually already on the bill

Worked example

On a CHF20.00 bill, 5% is CHF1.00, so you would hand over CHF21.00.

Tour guides

On a “free” walking tour, the tip is the fare: about CHF15.00 per person.

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

Service is included nearly everywhere, but a guide is tipped separately.
