If the moving crew is hard at work and you’ve realized you don’t know how much to tip them, you may be scrambling to figure out how much to withdraw from the ATM. Or, maybe you’re wondering if you need to tip them at all! Luckily, this is going to be fairly straightforward, so you won’t have to do any guesswork here. In this article, we’ll break down what kind of tip you should give your moving crew, so read on to learn more.
Things You Should Know
- As a rule of thumb, tip 10-20% of the total bill to a moving crew if they did a good job.
- You can tip $10-20 per mover if it wasn’t a particularly cumbersome or difficult move.
- To calculate the tip, consider how heavy your items are, how much packing they did for you, and how far the movers had to move and travel.
- Tip the moving crew at the end of the move when you’ve been given the final tab.
