Your minimum already factors in your gas, your hourly rate, and a maintenance allowance for your vehicle — longer orders also bill a bit more time, since they take longer to run.

About the Gig Helper

Gig delivery and rideshare apps show you a distance and a payout before you decide whether to accept — this works out whether that payout actually covers your costs and time. Enter the trip distance and what you're being offered (tips included), and it compares that against a minimum payout calculated from your driving costs and the time the order is likely to take.

Your minimum already factors in your gas, your hourly rate, and a maintenance allowance for your vehicle. Billed time also grows a little on longer trips — starting at a 20-minute floor for the first 10 km, then adding 10 more minutes for every additional 10 km beyond that — since a bigger trip takes more of your day than a short one.

The verdict compares your offer to that minimum: under 1% above it is a Shit Order, 1% up to 25% above it is Meh, and 25% or more above it is Full Send.

Frequently asked questions

How do you calculate if a gig delivery order is worth it?

It works out a minimum worth-it payout from your gas, your hourly rate, and a maintenance allowance for your vehicle, plus a bit of extra billed time on longer trips, then compares that minimum to what is actually being offered.

What goes into the minimum payout?

It is a combined estimate of your gas, maintenance and wear on your vehicle, and your hourly rate for the time an order takes.

Why does the billed time change with distance?

Every order starts with a 20-minute floor that covers waiting, parking, and handoff time at both ends, plus the first 10 km of driving. Beyond that, 10 more minutes are added for every additional 10 km, since a longer drive genuinely takes longer.

What do Shit Order, Meh, and Full Send mean?

They describe how far the offered payout clears your minimum: under 1% above minimum is a Shit Order, 1% up to 25% above is Meh, and 25% or more above minimum is a Full Send.
