Delivery Profitability Calculator
Find the real profit from a delivery route, area or order after product margin, delivery fees, driver time, vehicle cost and fulfillment expenses.

Orders & revenue
Route costs
Simple methodRoute profit = merchandise gross profit + delivery fees − driver labor − vehicle cost − other route costs. Delivery-operation contribution is shown separately so you can see whether delivery fees alone cover the direct delivery expense.

Failed delivery economics
Advanced methodPer-order contribution starts with merchandise gross profit plus the delivery fee, then subtracts picking/packing, payment fees, support, other variable costs and expected failed-delivery cost. Unrecovered failed deliveries remove the expected merchandise gross profit and delivery fee for those orders. Route labor, mileage, tolls, dispatch and allocated monthly overhead are then deducted.

Scope
Route profitability depends on which costs truly change with delivery
This calculator uses the economics entered and does not automatically determine whether a cost is incremental, fixed or already absorbed elsewhere in the business. Product gross margin should reflect the merchandise economics you want attributed to the route. Vehicle cost per mile should include the costs you consider relevant, which may include fuel, maintenance, tires, depreciation or lease expense. For major pricing or route decisions, compare the result with actual route-level accounting and operational data.
