How Does DoorDash Calculate Base Pay? A Quick Guide
Last updated
Ever wondered how DoorDash decides what to pay for each delivery? Today, we’re cracking the code on how DoorDash calculates base pay.
If you’re scratching your head trying to figure out how much DoorDash pays per delivery, you’re in the right spot. Let’s break it down, shall we?
Understanding DoorDash’s Base Pay Calculation
DoorDash’s base pay is the minimum amount a driver earns for a delivery, and it’s determined by three main factors: time, distance, and desirability. This means the time it takes, how far the delivery is, and if many Dashers want to do it (or not!).
So, if a delivery takes longer, travels further, and fewer people want to do it, DoorDash bumps up the base pay. It’s their way of saying thanks for taking on the challenge!
