Fees and Payments

Do you know where and how to check your order fee, boost fee and incentives? Scroll down and find all of the fee-related information here!

When do you get paid?

The payment cycle will start every Monday at 00:00 and cut off at 23:59 the following Sunday. Payment of the previous cycle is processed WEEKLY on Tuesdays. The time needed to process your payment varies depending on your bank, so please allow a few days for your bank to process the transfer.

For your acceptance boost fees, they will be calculated and shown on the Earnings page in the Rider App every Monday and will appear on your invoice as ‘Fee Adjustment - Boost Fees’.

Distance based fee system

Longer distance deliveries often take a longer time to complete, so Deliveroo offers you a fee system that pays based on the distance and time that each delivery will take to complete. This means that you are paid more for deliveries that make you travel further.

This way of calculating fees takes into account how far each order will take you, offering a different fee for every order and a fair system of paying more for orders that take you further.

Incentives

Look out for the ⚡ sign in the "Planner" of your rider app, or simply stay tuned to our emails, Rider Website posts and Telegram messages every Friday to know more about when and where the incentives apply!

You can now earn more when you deliver more. If your acceptance rate is 80% or above by the end of each cycle, we’ll add a 1.3x boost fee to every order you completed. On the home page of your Rider App, you will be able to see the following:

  • Order fees: Your cumulative service fees on completed orders (boost fees are not included)
  • Your rate: Your current acceptance rate
  • Boost fees: The additional amount that will be added to your fees if your acceptance rate is 80%+ at the end of every cycle

Remember, your boost fees will be calculated and shown in the Earnings page in the Rider App every Monday and will appear on your invoice as ‘Fee Adjustment - Boost Fees’.

How to calculate my incentives?

The following is the example of how to calculate your incentives:


Get paid weekly, or now!

Your payment invoice is issued WEEKLY on Mondays, showing you how much you earned from the previous payment cycle, including your acceptance boost fee.

If you finish Sunday with an acceptance rate of 80% or above, your invoice will show "80% Acceptance reached". In turn, if your acceptance is below 80% by every Sunday, you will not earn any of the boost fees and your invoice will show "80% Acceptance not reached".

  • How are my fees calculated?

    The calculation is based on a combination of the distance an order will travel, as well as the time we expect it may take to complete. The time it takes to travel the same distance may be different across different zones.

    Every fee reflects the order journey from where you are to the restaurant and from there to the customer, taking into account non-travel elements such as estimated waiting at the restaurant, parking or finding the customer. Keep an eye out for surge fees being offered in the app – these mean you can make more during busy times.

  • What if I did not receive my payment on pay day?

    We would have informed you in advance if there was a delay in the processing of your payment, this will usually be due to a public holiday. Please allow a few days for your bank to process your payment. The time needed varies according to the bank you use. If this is not the case, please send us a message via the Rider Website.

  • Will I be paid more if it takes longer than expected or if I take a different route?

    The fee for each delivery is calculated based on the distance as well as how long it is expected it will take you to complete the delivery. This fee will still stay the same – whether it takes you more or less time than we expected – however you are free to take your preferred route to complete the delivery.

  • If I choose to be unassigned from a delivery after I have picked it up, will I still be paid for any fee?

    You can choose to reject or unassign from any orders you are offered, however this means your acceptance rate might be affected. It is not possible to be paid for any fee only if you choose to be unassigned from the delivery before it is completed.
