I figure that if I can buy a meal from a cart for Rp10K then that is a sufficient tip for a small service, and will definitely buy lunch for a local.
I tend to round up to the nearest 10-20K for most things - taxis, meals etc but I tend to eat at cheaper places where the bill is under Rp100K, so the tip is always 10% or more.
It sometimes feels like a small amount and I feel a bit mean but then I think about it and a tip of 50-100% isn't a great thing to start doing regularly either.
