Costs differ greatly from large urban areas to more rural areas. New York, Los Angeles, Chicago & San Francisco are the costliest cities in US, and a budget traveller can expect to spend between $50-100 a day, depending on your accommodation standards and
if you camp or stay in hostels, catch buses and cook your own food, you could explore the country on around 50 a day. Staying in cheap hotels & motels and eating at modest cafes will cost around $100 a day, and renting a car could push your daily budget up to $150.
Tipping is expected in the US where tips are a large slice of service staff wages in cafes, restaurants and better hotels. The going rate in restaurants is 15% or more. You should never tip in a fast-food or self-service environment. Taxi drivers, bartenders and hairdressers depend on similar-sized tips. Sales taxes vary from state to state but are typically 5-8%, though some states have no sales taxes at all. Top-end accommodation also often attracts a bed tax, which can be as high as 15%. It's important to check whether quoted prices for accommodation include all relevant taxes.
