How does Shipt calculate pay?

The exact calculator method that the company uses is private information that is not available to the public. However, Shipt has claimed their payment model was designed as a competitive pay option for gig workers. Here are some other insights into Shipt's payment model:

• Shipt shoppers pay

Shipt shoppers normally make in the range of $15 to $25 per hour, with some shoppers reporting earnings in the range of $20 to $30 per hour. Because Shipt shoppers are considered employees, they have hourly pay rates. These pay rates can vary though, depending on the market and current demand for their services.

• Shipt shoppers' employee status

One of the major differences between working for Shipt and other gig delivery services is that Shipt drivers are considered employees. As employees, Shipt shoppers are eligible for employee benefits. These benefits can vary, but most delivery services like Shipt do not offer their delivery drivers benefits because they work as independent contractors.

As employees, Shipt shoppers also file their taxes, unlike most gig workers, with a W-2.

• Bonuses and Incentives

Like many other delivery apps, Shipt offers its shoppers extra pay in the form of bonuses and incentives. This usually applies to shoppers who work during peak times in which there is a high rate of Shipt orders. This can also apply to Shipt shoppers working in locations that are highly in demand.
