How Is Your Dasher Paid?

Here’s a detailed look at how Dasher earnings work:

Base Pay

Base pay is DoorDash’s base contribution for each offer made to Dashers. This ranges from $2-10+ when a Dasher chooses to earn per offer, depending on the estimated time, distance, and desirability of the offer. Offers that include deliveries or tasks that require Dashers to travel a longer distance, that are expected to take more time, and that are less popular with Dashers will have a higher base pay. Base pay does not change based on the customer tip amount. For information about how base pay works when Dashers earn by time, see here.

Promotions

Dashers also have the opportunity to earn more through promotions. Promotions include Peak Pay, Challenges, and Delivery Streaks. Peak Pay allows Dashers to earn extra money on each offer. Challenges give Dashers the chance to earn extra money for completing a certain number of deliveries in a set amount of time. Delivery Streaks allows Dashers to earn extra money by accepting and completing offers consecutively when they dash.

Tips

Every dollar a customer tips is an extra dollar in their Dasher’s pocket - 100% of tips received by DoorDash go to the Dasher on top of base pay and promotions. The amount DoorDash pays in base pay and promotions never varies based on the tip amount.
