• 1

  Tipping in United States is custom, not obligation: this dataset assumes roughly 20% in restaurants and 5% at hotels when no service charge is added — check the bill first, since many venues in New York already include service.

• 2

  Pad the plan, not every line item: add a 10-15% contingency to the tipping total for New York instead of inflating each component, so you can see exactly where the extra money goes when it is needed.

• 3

  Work in the local currency of New York and keep card fees as a separate line; converting every tipping price to your home currency with a rough rate distorts the comparison between options and hides their real differences.

• Exporting your home tipping habit to New York: the local custom this page encodes sits near 20% 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 New York twice: when service is already printed on the bill, adding the 20% restaurant norm from this dataset pays the server a second time. Read the invoice line first, then apply percentages only where service is absent.
