Tip Guide - Brazil
Currency: Brazilian Real
Tip name: Dica
Annual income: 15,850 US dollars = 13,439 euros
Tipping is generally customary in Brazil and amounts to about 10%. Although almost all hotels and restaurants already add 10% service charge to the bill, tips are still expected. In principle, a tip should be given for every service, as income in Brazil is very low and many need it as additional income.
