Restaurants often add 10% serviço. Brazilian consumer law treats that charge as optional. You can ask them to remove it. In practice you pay it unless the service was bad. If it is already on the bill, you are done. If it is not, rounding up is polite.
Bars in Cidade Baixa: leave coins or round the PIX.
Delivery apps already extracted a fee. Extra is kindness, not law.
Hairdressers, tattooists, hotel porters: a bit of cash is seen and appreciated. Uber: round up if they waited.
Do not overtip to perform foreignness. It makes the room strange.
