How Your Tips Impact Incomes

PayScale's 2011-2012 Tipping Chart

When you're on vacation or running errands, do you always remember to tip the people who serve your food, carry your luggage and cut your hair? Keep in mind that gratuities make up a big part of many workers' income, over 60 percent sometimes, so it's important to add that tip.

To help you figure out who relies on your gratuity the most, we created a list of who typically receives tips and what percentage of their income relies upon your generosity. For example, a taxi driver takes a 26 percent pay cut when you don't leave a tip.

If you're curious about typical tip amounts, check out our tipping guidelines.
