Delivery Route Pricing Guide
For businesses pricing delivery services, the minimum charge per stop should cover fuel, vehicle wear, labor, and a profit margin. Many last-mile delivery operators charge $5–15 per stop depending on service level and market.
| Route Type | Typical Cost/Stop | Charge/Stop (to break even + profit) |
|---|---|---|
| Dense urban (10+ stops/hour) | $3–5 | $6–10 |
| Suburban (5–8 stops/hour) | $5–8 | $10–15 |
| Rural (2–4 stops/hour) | $10–18 | $20–35 |
| Commercial delivery | $8–15 | $15–30 |
How do I price a delivery route for a customer?
Start with your true cost per stop (this calculator gives you that). Add a target margin — most delivery businesses aim for 30–50% margin. For regular scheduled routes, offer a flat weekly rate based on average stop count. Include fuel surcharge language in contracts so you're protected when diesel prices spike. Always build in a per-stop minimum charge regardless of delivery size.
