Earnings & payments
Everything about how you earn, when you get paid, and the tools to track both.
When you get paid
Wolt pays couriers on a predictable twice-monthly schedule. Two cycles, two fixed payout dates — the 16th for the first half of the month, the 1st of the following month for the second half.
Two cycles, two dates
Payout schedule for Company CPs::
1.-15. -> processed on the 16th -> paid out 1-3 bank days after the payment period ends
16.- 30/31. -> processed on the 1st of the following month ->paid out 1-3 bank days after the payment period ends
Payout schedule for TMIs:
1.-15. -> processed on the 16th -> paid out by the 25th by the invoicing service
16.- 30/31. -> processed on the 1st of the following month -> paid out on the 10th by the invoicing service
Self-billing invoices are generated automatically — no manual invoicing needed.
Earning factors
Distance to the pickup
How far you have to travel to collect the order. A pickup across town earns more than one around the corner.
Delivery distance
Pickup to drop-off. The core of the fee — longer deliveries pay more.
Order type & size
A single coffee, a 20-item grocery haul and a pharmacy run aren't weighted equally. Bigger or more complex = higher fee.
Real-world conditions
Weather, traffic, parking difficulty. Tough conditions push the fee up so tough deliveries stay worth your time.
The fee you see is the minimum
Tips go on top. Wolt takes 0% of tips. Your fee is never reduced by customer discounts, ratings, or ETA predictions.
Things that don't change your fee or task access
Customer discounts
Promotions are paid by Wolt, not deducted from your fee.
Customer ratings
Wolt doesn't use courier ratings for task allocation.
ETA estimates
Delivery-time predictions are shown to customers — they don't affect your fee.
Rejected tasks
No penalties. No score. The offer just moves to another courier.
