As with any gratuity it is a show of appreciation for a job well done. It is not mandatory. “Gratuity” has its origins in the Latin word for voluntary.

For a local move, how much to tip should reflect the length of time the move took and the degree of difficulty. Were there flights of stairs involved? A piano? A heavy armoire? Did the mover need to hoist a piece of furniture? Did they navigate a tight narrow staircase successfully?

A waiter / waitress will spend maybe fifteen minutes throughout a meal with you and it is customary to tip 18%. (They did not even cook the food. – For a debate about tipping wait staff see the opening scene of the movie “Reservoir Dogs.”) A mover will move all your worldly possessions and spend anywhere from a few hours to three to four days with you. It is an extremely physical job. That being said, the average tip is $5 to $7 per hour per mover. Depending on the level of quality mover you have chosen, this will be between 5 % and 15% of the move cost.

Once the move is complete the driver will have you sign paperwork and collect payment. You may give the gratuity to the driver. The driver will split the tip evenly themselves and the crew.




How to insert the calculator into a web page.

You can use your own web page as template. For a minimal sample, see the file template.htm, which is installed in the program folder of SpreadsheetConverter.

  • If the web page already
    contains a calculator, the calculator will be replaced.
  • If there you have inserted a HTML-comment <!-- spreadsheetconverter --> into the web page, the calculator will be placed there.
  • Otherwise, the calculator will be placed first in the <body>.
