Uber Eats UK rates in 2026
Uber Eats is the easiest of the three big delivery apps to cost, because it publishes its UK merchant rates. The fee is a percentage of the order and depends on who gets the food to the customer.
| Option | Who delivers | Published fee | With VAT at 20% |
|---|---|---|---|
| Uber Delivery | Uber couriers | 30% of the order | 36% |
| Uber Delivery, Uber One member orders | Uber couriers | 33% of the order | 39.6% |
| Self-Delivery | Your own drivers | 13% of the order | 15.6% |
| Pick-up | The customer collects | 13% of the order | 15.6% |
| Activation fee | One-off, before your first order | £650 | £780 |

How Uber Eats works out its fee
Uber Eats charges UK restaurants a percentage of each order, which it calls the service fee. The percentage depends on who delivers: 30% when Uber’s couriers bring the order, 13% when your own staff deliver or the customer collects. VAT at 20% is added to the fee, not to the order.
The calculator multiplies your average order by the percentage, adds VAT to the fee 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.
One thing the pricing page does not say is what the percentage is charged on: the food and drink total, or the total after Uber’s own delivery and service charges. The calculator uses the order value you type. To find your real rate, divide the fee on a weekly pay statement by the sales on the same statement, or put the lines into the delivery statement decoder.
What the calculator leaves out
The activation fee. Uber Eats charges £650 plus VAT once, before your first order. Its page lists a tablet, a printer, menu creation, professional photography, a window sticker, a welcome pack and an activation training call, and says the fee can be adjusted if you opt out of some of them. The reduced amounts are not published.
Promotions you pay for, refunds charged back to you and, on Self-Delivery, the cost of your own drivers. Each one raises the real cost above the figure here, and none of them has a published rate. The full breakdown is in How much commission does Uber Eats 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.
Uber Eats publishes its UK merchant rates: 30% of the order when Uber couriers deliver, 33% on orders from Uber One members, and 13% when you deliver with your own staff or the customer collects. VAT at 20% is added to the fee. Source: merchants.ubereats.com/gb/en/pricing, checked 15 November 2026.
On Uber Delivery at 30% the fee is £6.00 plus £1.20 VAT, so £7.20. On an Uber One member order at 33% it is £6.60 plus £1.32 VAT, so £7.92. On Self-Delivery or Pick-up at 13% it is £2.60 plus 52p VAT, so £3.12.
Yes. Uber’s pricing page says its percentages do not include VAT, so 20% is added to the fee. A 30% fee costs 36% of the order if you cannot reclaim VAT, and a 13% fee costs 15.6%. A VAT-registered business can usually reclaim it.
A one-off £650 plus VAT (£780), charged before your first order. Uber’s page says it includes a tablet, a printer, menu creation, professional photography, a window sticker, a welcome pack and an activation training call, and that the fee can be adjusted if you opt out of some items. The calculator does not include it in the yearly totals.
Uber’s pricing page does not say. This calculator applies the percentage to the order value you type. To measure your real rate, divide the fee on a weekly pay statement by the sales on the same statement.
No. Discounts and sponsored listings you fund, and refunds charged back to you, are on top of the percentage and vary from week to week. Your pay statements are the only record of them.
