An easy rule of thumb for local moves is to tip your movers 5 to 10 percent of the total bill. Tipping 5 percent is reasonable for standard local moves where the pros are in and out in a half-day. Tipping 10 percent can be appropriate when the movers are also packing your boxes and had a long workday.
Tips can be split up among all the movers, but many companies recommend you give the tip directly to each worker — not only to recognize their effort but also to ensure that each one receives their share.
However, you're not required to provide a tip. But remember: it is a much-appreciated gesture for a job well done.
