A Quick Guide About Postmates’ Pay

I’ve delivered food for Postmates for a week now and it’s been a pleasant experience overall. Postmates is like UberEats except they pay more for each delivery.

If you’re thinking about delivering for Postmates here’s a breakdown of their pay.

Base Pay

The base pay might vary depending on your city but you’re guaranteed a minimum. In Orlando, the base pay for each delivery is $4.00 and it looks like this:

  • One pickup x $1.00 
  • 1 dropoff x $1.00
  • Wait time x $0.09
  • Distance (miles) x $0.61

Postmates will automatically adjust your payout if a delivery is under $4.00. For example, if my base pay for one delivery comes out to be $3.34, then Postmates will give me $0.66. The base pay excludes tips.
