How much can I earn?
Base Pay
You’ll always earn Base Pay for any offer accepted on DoorDash. Base Pay is calculated based on the estimated time, distance, and desirability of the offer.
Plus Promotions
Promotions like Peak Pay, Challenges, and Delivery Streaks help you earn more.
Peak Pay pays you more per delivery or task.
Challenges let you earn extra money for completing a certain number of deliveries or tasks in a set amount of time
Delivery Streaks allow Dashers to earn extra money by accepting and completing offers consecutively while on a dash when the promotion is in effect.
Plus Tips
Customers using DoorDash can tip you after a delivery. You’ll always receive 100% of the customer tips received by DoorDash.

The Dasher app shows earning opportunities near you and tracks what you make.
Open the app and tap "Earnings" to see what you make on a particular day, to cash out your earnings with Fast Pay, or to view your Earnings History.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dasher pay consists of three key components: base pay, customer tips, and Promotions.
Base pay is included in both earning modes: Earn per Offer and Earn by Time. In addition to base pay, Dashers receive 100% of customer tips, although they may be less frequent when choosing to dash with Earn by Time mode. Dashers also receive 100% of earnings from applicable promotions, which provide extra pay for completing offers that meet specific criteria.
As a Dasher delivering with DoorDash, you'll often see certain Promotions in your DoorDah Dasher app, which are extra ways to earn more. You can find certain Promotions by tapping ‘Promos’ in the DoorDash Dasher app. Peak Pay and Boosts are applied automatically when they are in effect.
To improve the opportunity of receiving offers near you, look for Hotspots in your DoorDash Dasher app. They’ll be the zones on your map that are marked red.
Dashers delivering with DoorDash are paid weekly via a secured direct deposit to their personal bank account — or via no-fee daily deposits with DasherDirect (U.S. Only). Dashers in the U.S. Canada, and Australia can withdraw their earnings once daily with Fast Pay ($1.99 per transfer). Note that you must have a debit card, not a prepaid card, to use Fast Pay.
