Deliveroo commission calculator
Deliveroo does not publish a standard UK commission rate. Type the rate from your own agreement, your average order and your weekly orders, and see what it costs per order, per week and per year.
What Deliveroo takes from your orders
Food and drink, before delivery charges.
Through this platform only.
Deliveroo publishes no rate for its standard service or for Marketplace+ with your own drivers, so 30% and 15% are examples inside the ranges UK partners report, not Deliveroo’s figures. The one rate it publishes is 35% for Marketplace+ partners while its rider network is switched on. Replace any of them with the rate on your own agreement.

What Deliveroo publishes, and what it does not
Deliveroo sets its commission restaurant by restaurant. Its UK partner page confirms that a commission is charged and gives no percentage. One figure appears in its published terms, and it applies to one setup only.
| Setup | What Deliveroo publishes |
|---|---|
| Deliveroo riders deliver (standard service) | No percentage. The partner page says only “We charge a commission on completed orders” |
| Marketplace+, your own drivers deliver | No percentage |
| Marketplace+ with Deliveroo’s rider network switched on | 35% plus VAT of the order value including VAT |
| Set-up, tablet or joining fee | No amount on the partner page. The terms of a London sign-up offer that has ended describe a Standard Set-Up Package as “normally £200 + VAT” |
| Your own rate | In your partner agreement and on your statements |
Sources, checked 15 November 2026: merchants.deliveroo.com/en-GB; the “M+ Deliveroo rider network Terms and Conditions (UK)” at merchants.deliveroo.com/legal/terms, which say the fee “shall be adjusted to 35% (plus VAT) of GMV (inclusive of VAT)” while that service is active; and merchants.deliveroo.com/legal/signup-promo (last updated 28 May 2025). Where no figure is published, that does not mean the fee is nil.
How to use a calculator when the rate is not published
Because Deliveroo agrees a rate with each restaurant, the only number that matters is the one in your agreement. If you do not have it to hand, divide the commission on a weekly statement by the order sales on the same statement. That is your real rate, and you can type it straight into the calculator. The delivery statement decoder does the division for you.
The calculator opens with example rates so that it shows a worked result: 30% where Deliveroo riders deliver and 15% where your own drivers do. Those are not Deliveroo’s figures. They sit inside the ranges that UK partners report, which we set out in How much commission does Deliveroo take?. The third option is different: 35% is in Deliveroo’s own published terms, and applies to Marketplace+ partners for orders delivered while its rider network is switched on.
The tool then adds VAT at 20% to the commission and scales the result by your weekly orders. A VAT-registered business can usually reclaim that VAT, so the tool leaves it out of your cost when you answer yes. If you are not registered, the VAT is a real cost and the tool counts it.
What the calculator leaves out
Anything on top of the percentage: any set-up or equipment charge in your agreement, promotions and placement you pay for, refunds charged back to you, and the cost of your own drivers. Read your agreement and your statements for those. The payout days are in when the delivery apps pay restaurants.
How that compares with your own ordering channel
Orders through your own app or ordering website are priced differently: a flat monthly fee at published prices, plus card processing, instead of a percentage of each order. Aexir’s plans are £30, £40 and £50 a month before VAT, listed on the pricing page. The savings calculator puts both sides next to each other on your own numbers.
Common questions answered.
Deliveroo does not publish a commission rate for its standard service. Its partner page says only “We charge a commission on completed orders” (merchants.deliveroo.com/en-GB, checked 15 November 2026). The one published figure is 35% plus VAT, for Marketplace+ partners while Deliveroo’s rider network is switched on. For everything else your own partner agreement is the only definitive figure.
So that it shows a worked result before you type anything. 30% (Deliveroo riders) and 15% (your own drivers) are examples inside the ranges UK partners report. They are not Deliveroo’s figures. Replace them with the rate on your agreement.
From Deliveroo’s own terms. The “M+ Deliveroo rider network Terms and Conditions (UK)” say that while the rider network service is active, the Marketplace+ fee “shall be adjusted to 35% (plus VAT) of GMV (inclusive of VAT)” on delivery orders (merchants.deliveroo.com/legal/terms, checked 15 November 2026). It applies to that setup only and can be changed by written agreement.
Divide the commission on a weekly statement by the order sales on the same statement. The answer, as a percentage, is the rate you are really paying. Type it into the calculator to see the yearly cost.
The one fee Deliveroo publishes is written as 35% “(plus VAT)”, so VAT is added to that fee. Its partner page does not say for the standard service, so check your statement to confirm. The calculator shows VAT as its own line.
At an example rate of 30%, the commission on a £20 order is £6.00, and VAT at 20% adds £1.20, so £7.20 in total. At an example 15% it is £3.00 plus 60p VAT, so £3.60. At the published 35% for Marketplace+ with Deliveroo’s riders it is £7.00 plus £1.40 VAT, so £8.40. Your own rate may be different.
No. Promotions and placement you fund, and refunds charged back to you, are on top of the commission and vary from week to week. Your statements are the only record of them.
