Calculate your total daily gratuities with our Cruise Gratuities Calculator!
Select a cruise line, pick your cabin category (the options change per line, since each has different tiers), enter cruise length in nights and number of guests, then hit Calculate.
What it shows you:
💰 A note on whether that line’s gratuities are adjustable or non-adjustable (NCL, Margaritaville and MSC are locked)
💰 Total gratuity cost for the entire voyage
💰 Daily total for all guests combined
💰 Per-person total across all nights
💰 Per-person nightly rate
As a cruise advisor, one of the most common budgeting mistakes I see is underestimating gratuities. Rates vary by cruise line, cabin category, and number of guests — and several lines raised their daily charges in 2026. I built this calculator to take the guesswork out of it. Just select your cruise line and fill in the details below.
I try to update this calculator every time rates change. Subscribe to the GYB Newsletter so you never miss an update — plus cruise news, tips, and deals straight to your inbox.
