Source: the FAQ on just-eat.co.uk/partner/signup, checked 15 November 2026: “We take a 14% commission for every order you accept on the Just Eat platform and for which you use your own delivery drivers” and “We take a 30% commission for every order you accept and where we deliver for you.” The page gives no separate rate for collection orders. Your own agreement is the definitive record.
How Just Eat works out its commission
Just Eat charges UK partners a percentage of every order they accept through the platform: 14% when you use your own delivery drivers and 30% when Just Eat delivers for you. VAT at 20% is added to the commission, which is why Just Eat’s own example for a £20 order reads £2.80 plus 56p VAT.
The calculator multiplies your average order by the percentage, adds VAT 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.
Just Eat says commissions are deducted from your weekly order revenue, so you never pay them separately: they come out before the money reaches you. To check the rate you are really paying, put a weekly invoice into the delivery statement decoder.
What the calculator leaves out
Anything that is not on Just Eat’s public page: promotions and placement you pay for, any fixed charge per order on your invoice unless you type it in, refunds charged back to you, and the cost of your own drivers. Each one raises the real cost above the figure here. The full breakdown is in How much commission does Just Eat take?, and 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.
Just Eat’s partner sign-up page publishes 14% of every order where you use your own delivery drivers and 30% where Just Eat delivers for you, with VAT added to the commission. Source: just-eat.co.uk/partner/signup, checked 15 November 2026. Your own agreement is the definitive record.
Just Eat gives its own examples. Where you deliver, the commission on a £20 order is £3.36: £2.80 plus 56p VAT. Where Just Eat delivers, it is £7.20: £6.00 plus £1.20 VAT.
Yes. Just Eat’s own examples add 20% VAT to the commission. A 14% commission costs 16.8% of the order if you cannot reclaim VAT, and 30% costs 36%. A VAT-registered business can usually reclaim it.
Just Eat’s partner sign-up page lists only the percentage commission. Check your weekly invoice: if it shows a fixed charge per order as well, type it into the calculator so the totals match what you actually pay.
Just Eat says commissions are deducted from your weekly order revenue, and that you receive an account invoice every Tuesday. The commission comes out before the balance is paid to you.
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 weekly invoices are the only record of them.
