What one delivery really costs you.
Type in your own month: attempts, fleet, fuel, software, outsourced runs and failed attempts. You see what each successful delivery really costs you, and the volume your network needs to break even.
What the calculator shows before you change a number
These panels use the starting figures in the calculator above. Replace them with yours and the answer moves.
Twenty thousand attempts, one answer
A failed attempt still burns rider time and fuel, so the number that matters is the cost of a delivery that arrived. Set it beside what your customer or the platform pays you for it.
12.66
Cost of one successful delivery
Your customer pays 14. You keep 1.34 a delivery.

Four lines tell you where you stand
Cost per successful delivery is the line to watch, because a failed attempt still burns rider time and fuel. The utilisation line shows the capacity you pay for and leave unused. The break-even line shows how many attempts a month carry your fixed cost. The last line shows what a worse failure rate does to your present cost base.
Replace the starting figures with your own.
Take the number further
If the number surprises you, Network & Fleet Strategy takes the same question down to each zone and contract, and the Control Diagnostic sets it beside your capital.
