This Spain tipping calculator and guide tells you what is customary to leave as a propina across restaurants, bars, hotels and taxis. Spanish tipping is modest and optional — service is generally included, and most people simply round up. The tool turns those norms into a concrete suggested amount and splits it across your group.
How it works
For restaurants, bars and tapas venues the tool starts from a customary percentage band — about 5–10% for a sit-down meal, less for casual spots — and scales it by the service quality you select, so below-average service returns no tip and exceptional service nudges the range up. It then shows the tip, the total with tip and the amount per person.
For hotels and taxis a percentage makes no sense, so the tool shows a flat-euro guideline instead: round the taxi fare up to the nearest euro, give a porter about a euro per bag, and leave a euro or two for housekeeping.
Example
On a EUR 50 restaurant bill with good service for two people, the tool suggests roughly EUR 2.50–5.00 — about EUR 1.25–2.50 each — and shows the total with tip. Switch the venue to a taxi and instead of a percentage you get the simple advice to round the fare up.
Notes
Tipping in Spain is never obligatory. Service is included by law in the price, and locals usually round the bill up or leave loose change rather than calculate a percentage. These figures are an optional guideline to help visitors feel comfortable, not an expectation.
