Our Mission
How Much Tipped? is a simple, anonymous platform for sharing tipping experiences across different service industries. We believe in transparency and helping people understand tipping norms, culture, and expectations in their communities.
What We Do
Our website collects anonymous data on tipping practices to provide insights into:
- Tipping Trends: Average tip amounts and percentages across different service types
- Industry Insights: How tipping varies by service (restaurants, ride-share, hair salons, hotels, etc.)
- Geographic Data: Regional variations in tipping behavior (tracked by ZIP code)
- Consumer Experience: How suggested tip amounts influence user decisions
- Service Quality: Correlation between service ratings and tipping behavior
Privacy & Data Security
No personal information is collected. We do not collect names, emails, phone numbers, or any identifying information. The only location data we store is ZIP code, which is used for regional analysis only.
Each submission is completely anonymous and independent. We store:
- Service type and amount paid
- Tip amount and percentage
- Payment method
- Whether a suggested tip was displayed
- Service rating (1-5 stars)
- ZIP code (for regional insights)
- Optional comments
- Submission timestamp
Why We Created This
Tipping culture varies dramatically across the United States and around the world. With growing visibility of suggested tip percentages (especially at digital payment terminals), consumers often find themselves uncertain about appropriate tipping amounts. This data helps answer common questions like:
- How much do people typically tip at restaurants?
- What's the average ride-share tip?
- How does tipping vary by region?
- Are people influenced by suggested tip amounts?
- Does service quality correlate with tipping?
How Your Data Is Used
Submitted data is aggregated and displayed anonymously on our platform. We calculate and display:
- Average tip amounts and percentages
- Tipping distributions by service type
- Regional tipping patterns
- Public insights and trends
Individual entries are never publicly displayed with identifying information. All data remains anonymous and aggregated for analysis and insights.
