States with the Highest and Lowest Tipping in the US

TL;DR Summary
Delaware, West Virginia, and New Hampshire have the highest average tips at full-service restaurants, while California and Washington have lower tips. Overall, average tips increased slightly from late 2024 to early 2025, with ongoing discussions in Congress about exempting tips from federal taxes, a move that aligns with previous campaign promises but may have limited impact on workers already paying little or no income tax.
