Tipping in Estonia
EUR
Last reviewed · Sep 2026Sources & methodology
Tipping is optional and not compulsory. Round up everyday bills, and leave about 5-10% only for very good sit-down service. Card terminals may offer a tip prompt. Skipping or leaving a small amount is both fine. Bars, cafes, and taxis need just a small euro round-up.
