Delivery run simulator
Zepto work simulator
Play a few minutes as a new Zepto driver. Every fee, payout delay and sign-up rule comes from Zepto’s real data where we have it, and everything else is labelled.
- Pay shown per offer
- Paid after 7 d (assumed)
- 3–6 minutes
How this simulation works
Each game is one of ten templates for a kind of work, filled with this platform’s real data where we have it. Anything we don’t know is either the typical value for its platform type or a plain assumption, and is labelled so below. Demand, job volume and luck are simulated.
| What | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Platform cutThe pay shown on each offer is what you get; the platform takes its share from the customer side. | Built into each offer | Platform data |
| Days before money can be withdrawnTypical for this kind of work. | 7 d | Assumed |
| Minimum payoutThe game treats it as no minimum. | Not stated | Assumed |
| Lowest base pay per offer | $2 | Assumed |
| Highest base pay per offer | $6 | Assumed |
| Extra offer pay per mile | $0.6 | Assumed |
| Average customer tip | $3 | Assumed |
| Car fuel and wear per mileFuel plus maintenance only. The IRS 2025 rate of $0.70 a mile also counts depreciation. | $0.35 | Assumed |
| Average wait between offers | 9 min | Assumed |
| Length of each shift | 120 min | Assumed |
| Real-world benchmark (for comparison only)Most California app drivers made about $11-16 per hour after waiting time and vehicle costs (LAO, 2020) | $11–16/hr | Typical for type |
A simplified simulation based on Zepto’s published rules, for learning only. It is not an earnings promise: real results depend on your skills, location, demand and Zepto’s current rules.
