<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nTotal Earnings <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The earnings section will break down everything to do with pay for the week. At the top are the net earnings for the week with secondary sections describing the specifics of your earnings.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DoorDash Pay\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
DoorDash Pay details the base pay for the deliveries during the pay period. Usually, it will include the amount you\u2019ve earned from Dashing jobs throughout the week.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DoorDash Pay Adjustment\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Some states and localities have a minimum amount that contractors must make. Additionally, DoorDash also has a minimum threshold that Dashers will make while working. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the amount you\u2019ve made through your DoorDash pay does not meet or exceed the guaranteed earnings minimum, you may be eligible for an adjustment by DoorDash. This is an automatic process.

Any tips accrued during the week will show up here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Pay can be further broken down into daily earnings, which allows drivers to pinpoint their earnings throughout the week. This number usually excludes tips and special earnings, exclusively breaking down DoorDash Pay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Below the dashes section, you may see a section called Other Pay. This is where you might see bonuses and additional earnings like extra delivery pay, referral bonuses, challenge bonuses, guaranteed earnings, reimbursements, and cancellation fees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Check out our guides to Understanding your <\/em>Lyft <\/em><\/a>and <\/em>Uber <\/em><\/a>earnings. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n There are a number of other associated expenses and costs that may pop up in your earnings statements from time to time. These general terms may come up when Dashing or ridesharing, though not all are applicable in every situation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Tolls<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you need to pay a toll while on an active delivery, DoorDash does not reimburse for the cost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Cancel Earnings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n When a customer cancels their delivery with a driver for whatever reason (outside of the grace period), the driver will be provided a convenience fee for their trouble. This fee can be found on the cancel earnings line of your statement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Commercial Insurance Credits<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Rideshare and delivery drivers require specific insurance for their vehicles when working. If you live in a place where it is required, you may receive a commercial insurance credit to help cover the cost of insurance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Paid Sick and Safe Time <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Rideshare and delivery companies have started to offer paid sick and safe time in response to the coronavirus. If eligible, drivers may be able to receive up to 14 days of paid sick and safe time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n CA Earnings Adjustment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n California mandates that some contractors make 120% of the minimum wage. Because of this, any earnings below this will be adjusted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Lucky for drivers, there are a number of bonuses and rewards that can help to up earnings throughout the year. Here are just a few that might pop up on your earnings statement from time to time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Bonus<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Any general bonus payment a delivery driver has earned during the week can be found here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Streak Bonuses<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you accept multiple back-to-back deliveries during a busy time, you may be eligible for a \u201cstreak\u201d bonus!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Top Bonuses<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re deemed a top driver in your area, you may be eligible for a top driver bonus. The bonus amount will show up here but can vary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Preferred Bonuses<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n When you accept a preferred delivery, you may be compensated with a small bonus. Preferred deliveries are an option presented to customers who want extra comfort in the car they choose. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Referrals<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Have someone in your life that may want to drive? You\u2019re able to receive a driver referral bonus within one to two billing cycles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Guarantee Bonus<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Some localities require a minimum income for delivery and rideshare drivers. Because of this, any gap between your earnings and the minimum required by law may be supplemented by your app. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re currently renting a vehicle through an affiliate of DoorDash to deliver, you may see associated rental fees right in the app. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Rental Rate<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the amount that you\u2019re paying for your rental each pay period. They may subtract the amount of your rental rate from your earnings automatically. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Fuel Surcharge<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The cost of fuel for the rented vehicle upon return if not equal to what it was when initially rented. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Loss Damage Waiver<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The cost of the waiver covers the loss and damages associated with the rental car. This is not required. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Rental Taxes & Fees<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Taxes and fees associated with your rental. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Rental Misc<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Any remaining expenses associated with your rental that do not fit into another rental fee category. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A few remaining miscellaneous taxes and fees may pop up on your next earnings statement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Express Pay Fee<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Need money sooner than payday? You can withdraw your earnings sooner, but it will cost you. The express pay fee is a small fee put on early withdrawals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n GST\/HST Taxes <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Additional taxes may be placed on earnings in certain locations. The Goods and Services Tax (GST) and Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) are two examples of local additional tax deductions for contractors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Understanding your DoorDash earnings statement is never an easy feat.
