1. 1

   Step 1

   Enter the bill in the local currency of Sri Lanka (LKR).

2. 2

   Step 2

   Pick the service type: restaurants 10%, hotels 5%, taxis 0%, cafes 0%.

3. 3

   Step 3

   We apply the local Sri Lanka percentage and show the total with tip.

• 1

  Tipping in Sri Lanka is custom, not obligation: this dataset assumes roughly 10% in restaurants and 5% at hotels when no service charge is added — check the bill first, since many venues in Colombo already include service.

• 2

  Check official sources for Colombo visa, tax, or fee rules before relying on any computed figure (Tipping Calculator: Colombo) — travel rules change with little notice, and a calculator cannot know about a decision announced last week.

• 3

  Save the inputs you used for this tipping run (Tipping Calculator: Colombo) beside the result; when Colombo prices change, update only the moved fields and keep the assumptions on record for next time.

• Exporting your home tipping habit to Colombo: the local custom this page encodes sits near 10% in restaurants and 5% at hotels, and under- or over-tipping both misread the room. Follow the local table, not the one you brought.

• Tipping Colombo twice: when service is already printed on the bill, adding the 10% restaurant norm from this dataset pays the server a second time. Read the invoice line first, then apply percentages only where service is absent.
