====Hungary==== The Hungarian word for tip is {{lang|hu|borravaló}} (literally "intended for wine", a loose [[calque]] from {{langx|de|Trinkgeld}}) or colloquially {{lang|hu|baksis}} (from {{langx|fa|بخشش}} ''bakhshesh''<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=+baksheesh&searchmode=none |title=Online Etymology Dictionary |publisher=Etymonline.com |access-date=2013-01-27}}</ref>), often written in English as [[backsheesh]]. Tipping is widespread in Hungary; the degree of expectation and the expected amount varies with price, type and quality of service, and also influenced by the satisfaction of the customer.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tripadvisor.com/Travel-g274881-s606/Hungary:Tipping.And.Etiquette.html|work=[[TripAdvisor.com]]|access-date=11 May 2014|title=Hungary: Tipping & Etiquette}}</ref> As in Germany, rounding up the price to provide a tip is commonplace. The typical value of a tip is 10 percent in Hungary.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://tipcalc.net/hu/ |title=Tip Calculator |publisher=tipcalc.net |access-date=2021-05-05}}</ref> Depending on the situation, tipping might be unusual, optional or expected. Almost all bills include a service charge; similarly, some employers calculate wages on the basis that the employee would also receive tips, while others prohibit accepting them. In some cases a tip is only given if the customer is satisfied; in others it is customary to give a certain percentage regardless of the quality of the service; and there are situations when it is hard to tell the difference from a [[bribe]]. Widespread tipping based on loosely defined customs and an almost imperceptible transition into bribery is considered a main factor contributing to corruption. A particular example of a gratuity is {{lang|hu|hálapénz}} ("gratitude money") or {{lang|hu|paraszolvencia}}, which is the very much expected – almost obligatory even though illegal – tipping of state-employed physicians. ([[Healthcare in Hungary|Hungary's healthcare system]] is almost completely state-run and there is an obligatory social insurance system).
