How it's worked out

In your shop, you keep the price minus VAT (if any) minus what the item cost you.

On Uber Eats, there's also the platform's commission: the cost of reaching delivery customers. So you keep the Uber Eats price, minus VAT, minus commission, minus your cost. That's why delivery prices are usually set a little higher than shop prices.

The suggested price is the lowest Uber Eats price that gives you the same £ profit (or the same % margin) as your shop. The rounded figure goes up to the next price ending in 9p.

The example figures use a 25% shop margin, the top of the 20–25% most independent shops work on (Talking Retail), and a 30% commission. Change them to your own.

Assumptions: commission is worked out on the price the customer pays. If you're VAT registered, you reclaim any VAT Uber Eats charges on its commission; if not, we assume 20% VAT on it as an extra cost. It leaves out packaging, delivery fees, offers you fund and card fees. VAT examples are a rough guide; check HMRC's guidance on food and VAT and hot takeaway food. This is an estimate, not tax or financial advice.
