Service charges and spa packages
Spas sometimes add an automatic service charge or gratuity, especially for packages or group bookings. Check whether it is already included before adding more, and ask how it is distributed to staff. The calculator's service charge option shows the included amount and lets you add an optional extra tip.
If you used a discount or spa deal, many people still tip on the original price. See tipping after a discount.
Multiple therapists on one visit
If you had a massage with one therapist and a facial with another, tip each separately or use the multiple-professionals rows in Advanced options. Read how to split tips between providers.

Do you tip if a service charge is already included?
Check the receipt first. If an automatic gratuity or service charge is included, an additional tip is optional. The calculator shows included gratuity separately so you can decide.
Should I tip a spa owner or independent therapist?
Tipping an owner or an independent therapist is optional, but many clients do. There is no single correct answer; tip what feels appropriate for the service.
Do you tip for a facial?
Yes. Facials are usually tipped like other spa services, around 15% to 20%, because the esthetician provides a hands-on personal service.
