How much can you earn delivering

Your earnings = Delivery fees + Optional bonuses + Tips Courier partner earnings depend on when, where, and how often you choose to deliver. There are no limits set by the platform — your earnings reflect your activity and local demand.

Earnings vary by market, demand, and activity.

Fares

In many markets, courier partners earn up to 75% of the fare per order, but this may vary by location.

Earnings are calculated per completed delivery and paid according to the local schedule.

Rewards

Access additional earning opportunities through in-app campaigns in selected areas.

Tips

Customers can choose to add a tip to their order. Tips are added on top of your delivery earnings and paid to you after each completed delivery.

While the amount depends on the customer, any tips you receive are yours in full and are included in your total earnings.

Make the most of your delivery time

Maximise your earning potential with smart in-app tools. The Bolt Courier app provides delivery requests based on real-time demand, helping you work more efficiently whenever you’re online.

Earnings vary by market, demand, and activity

Full distance compensation

You are compensated for the entire delivery, from the moment you accept the order to the final drop-off. This includes the distance to the restaurant and to the customer.

Peak-hour multipliers

Multipliers may apply during scheduled high-demand periods. Increased order volume can result in higher delivery fees.

Zonal multipliers

Some areas of a city have a stronger demand. In those zones, delivery fees may be adjusted to reflect increased activity.

Surge

When order demand exceeds the number of courier partners online, surge pricing may activate. This increases the delivery fee during those periods.

Waiting time compensation

If an order is not ready when you arrive at the restaurant, the eligible waiting time is compensated automatically.

Effort-based pricing

Larger or heavier orders require more effort. The system detects these and adjusts the delivery fee accordingly.
