Tipping in Finland

How much tip should you leave in Finland?

In Finland, tipping isn't expected - all prices for services that you receive already include the tip, and it is no needed to give further tips in Finland. While rare, it can happen that some service staff gets even a little offended by tips.

Of course, most Finns won't decline a tip for good service, if they've gone out of their way to help you, or when you know you've caused an inconvenience. The best way for visitors in Finland to show their appreciation in form of a tip is to leave the tip by rounding up the amount of the bill's total.

For example, if your bill shows 27.10.- and you think service was great, it would be appropriate (but not expected at all) to simply give 30.- in the local currency.

Summary: In Finland, tips are not expected and given mainly if the service exceeds your expectations, e.g. to hotel staff, taxi drivers, or waiters.
