About this calculator

Deliveroo, Uber Eats and Just Eat can hide 25–35% commission plus payment, packaging and refund costs. This calculator strips it all out to show your true contribution per order — and the price you'd need to charge to hit your target margin.

It also compares in-venue, collection and delivery contribution side by side, so you can see the real gap between channels.
