How much do you tip a girl for massage? ›

The standard hospitality rate for massage tipping is 20 percent. For example, if a massage or body treatment costs $100, a 20 percent tip would be $20.

Yes, you should tip at least 20% based on the regular cost of the service, even if you're using a coupon or gift certificate, says Sokolosky. So if a massage normally costs $100, tip $20 even if you have a coupon that discounts the massage to $90 or a gift card that covers the full cost.

Tipping is also a way of recognizing a massage therapist's hard and physically demanding work, she says. “When in doubt, tip your massage therapist unless they very specifically say otherwise,” Denney says. But note that some massage therapists will expressly ask you not to tip.

The general guideline. As with other services, the average tip for a massage is 15-20% of the total cost. Of course, this can vary depending on factors such as quality of service and personal budget. If you're at a spa or salon, the business usually takes a portion of the massage therapist's fee.

The general rule of thumb when it comes to how much you should tip your massage therapist is 20% of the total cost of your treatment.
