- Recheck rider costs quarterly; traffic and wages change.
Note
This tool covers fuel, rider time and your target profit. It does not include vehicle maintenance or insurance — if deliveries are a big part of your business, add a small per-km maintenance allowance into the mileage or rider cost figures. Compare the result with what customers in your area expect to pay.
