# Driver Surplus

## Driver Payment Breakdown

Driver payment consists of:

* **Delivery fee** — Amount charged to customer.
* **Driver surplus** — Additional amount set.

<mark style="background-color:orange;">**Total driver payment per delivery = Delivery fee + Driver surplus**</mark>

{% hint style="info" %}
Driver surplus can be set to negative values (e.g., -€1.00, -€2.00). This results in lower driver payment than delivery fee.
{% endhint %}

### Example Calculation

Driver Surplus is set to €1.00. Driver is assigned **three cash orders** *(Orders 1, 2, and 3)* and **one paid order** *(Order 4)*:

<table><thead><tr><th width="169">Order Total</th><th width="141">Delivery Fee</th><th width="141">Driver Surplus </th><th width="156">Driver Payments</th><th width="139">Driver Owes</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Order 1 - €23.00</td><td>€6.00</td><td>€1.00</td><td>€7.00</td><td>€16.00</td></tr><tr><td>Order 2 - €23.50</td><td>€6.00</td><td>€1.00</td><td>€7.00</td><td>€16.50</td></tr><tr><td>Order 3 - €25.00</td><td>€8.00</td><td>€1.00</td><td>€9.00</td><td>€16.00</td></tr><tr><td>Order 4 - €0.00</td><td>€6.00</td><td>€1.00</td><td>€7.00</td><td>-€7.00</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Total - €71.50</strong></td><td></td><td></td><td><strong>€30.00</strong></td><td><strong>€41.50</strong></td></tr></tbody></table>

**Driver collected:** €71.50 total cash

**Driver payments:** €30.00 total (€7.00 + €7.00 + €9.00 + €7.00)

**Driver owes venue:** €41.50
