Should you just go get it?
Compare the real cost of driving to pick up your order against delivery fees, markup, and tip. Adjust anything — it recalculates instantly.
Measured in L/100km.
Tires, brakes, oil, depreciation — a user-adjustable estimate, not a claim.
In-app menu prices run 15–30% higher, plus service fees.
Beyond 18.1 km one-way, delivery is the cheaper option.
That premium adds up to $869.34/year you could keep.
burnrate shows every recurring charge draining your account — the ones you forgot about too.
Is food delivery worth it?
It depends on distance and fees. Once you add up the delivery fee, service fees, in-app menu markup, and tip, the real delivery premium is often $10–18 per order. Driving to pick up costs fuel plus wear-and-tear. This calculator compares both and gives you a break-even distance.
How much does it really cost to drive to pick up my order?
More than just gas. Fuel is one part; tires, brakes, oil, and depreciation add roughly $0.10–$0.25 per kilometre. For a short round trip that's usually a few dollars — still far less than a typical delivery premium.
What is the break-even distance for delivery vs pickup?
It's the one-way distance where your driving cost equals the total delivery cost. Beyond that distance, delivery is the cheaper option. The calculator computes it from your fuel economy, fuel price, and wear-and-tear estimate.
