Free tools to estimate what your restaurant pays in delivery platform fees — and find out how much revenue you might be losing.
Delivery platforms charge restaurants a complex mix of commissions, service fees, marketing costs, and processing charges that vary by plan tier and order type. These calculators help you estimate the true cost of each delivery order — beyond just the headline commission rate. Enter your monthly volume and see how fees from DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub, and SkipTheDishes actually affect your bottom line.
Restaurant operators consistently tell us there are “hidden fees you have to watch” on every delivery platform statement. The advertised commission rate is just the starting point — layered on top are payment processing charges, marketing deductions, logistics surcharges, and subscription-program subsidies that inflate the true cost of every order. When operators pull their monthly reports, they frequently discover that “credit card deposits are always off” compared to what the platform dashboard shows. The gap between the contracted rate and the effective rate can be significant, and without a structured way to calculate it, the shortfall goes unnoticed.
That’s why we built these delivery fee calculators. Each tool lets you enter your actual order volume, average ticket size, and platform plan tier to reveal the difference between what you expect to keep and what you actually receive. You’ll see your effective rate broken down by fee category — commissions, processing, marketing, and adjustments — so you can pinpoint exactly where revenue disappears. If the numbers raise concerns, our delivery reconciliation calculator takes the analysis further by estimating how much you may be losing to payout discrepancies across DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub. Use these tools together to build a complete picture of your delivery economics and stop leaving money on the table.

Beyond the headline commission rate, delivery platforms charge restaurants additional fees including payment processing (typically 2.5–3%), marketing and promotion costs, logistics surcharges for peak hours, subscription or membership program subsidies (such as DashPass or Uber One), and order error adjustments. These layered charges mean your effective cost per order is often 5–10% higher than the advertised commission rate.
To find your real cost per order, divide your total deductions for a payout period (commissions, fees, adjustments, and processing charges) by the number of orders in that period. Compare this effective rate to your contracted commission rate. If the effective rate is higher, you are paying hidden fees that are not reflected in your agreement. Use a delivery fee calculator to estimate this gap quickly.
Your effective rate exceeds your contracted rate because platforms layer additional charges on top of the base commission. These include payment processing fees, marketing program costs, refund deductions charged back to the restaurant, peak-hour logistics surcharges, and subscription program subsidies. When combined, these extras can add 5–10 percentage points to your actual cost per order.
