I had the exact same question before my last move—wanted to be kind but didn't want to go overboard. The same guide on how much to tip moving guys https://nationalmovers.org/resources/how-much-to-tip-movers/ helped me nail a fair amount. It recommends tipping per mover, either a set dollar amount per hour or a percentage. For half-day moves, it suggests $20–$40 per mover as a flat bonus. For full-day or heavy-duty moves, bump it up to $50–$100 per mover or 10–20% total. I followed that and left a bit extra since they were fast and careful with my stuff. They were visibly pleased and even helped me load an awkward bookshelf without hesitation. It made me feel good too — a little respect goes a long way.
