Luxembourg Leads Europe in Generous Tipping, Wolt Study Reveals

Luxembourg may be small in size, but when it comes to showing gratitude, the country’s generosity stands tall.

A new study from delivery platform Wolt shows that Luxembourgers tip more per order than customers in several other wealthy European nations.

According to Wolt’s data, only 17% of customers in Luxembourg leave a tip — but when they do, they make it count. The average tip comes in at €1.97, placing the Grand Duchy at the top of the five countries included in the study.

Germany, by contrast, has more frequent tippers (25%), yet their average tip is slightly lower at €1.85. Meanwhile, Norway — rich in oil but somewhat modest in tipping habits — shows only 11% of customers tipping, with an average of €1.96.

Within Luxembourg, generosity varies by region. Mersch emerges as the most giving town, with 23% of users tipping and an impressive €2.15 average. Luxembourg City follows at €1.97, while Wiltz tips average €1.91.

“All tips go directly to the courier,” says Tomás Etcheverry, General Manager for Wolt Luxembourg. He emphasises that tipping isn’t mandatory: “But it’s a kind gesture when you’re pleased with the service — and let’s be honest, there’s real joy in having your sushi or burger show up on time and with a smile.”

For couriers navigating rainstorms, traffic, and late-night deliveries, even small tips and friendly notes make a meaningful difference. They already earn a fair income, but tips add a personal touch of appreciation.

Etcheverry sums it up simply: “If your order arrives hot, fast, and with care, a little extra thank-you goes a long way — for the courier, and for your karma.”
