Bolt & Wolt earnings calculator

Platforms do not publish hourly rates, so the calculator works from the figures you enter. The courier default of €17 an hour is Wolt’s published average: according to Wolt, courier partners in Estonia earned on average nearly €17 per active hour in 2024, i.e. for the time spent making deliveries. Waiting time between orders may not be included. Wolt pays per order and per distance; exact fees are shown in the courier app.

Vehicle costs. The default own-car cost of €0.30 per km is the national tax-free allowance for using a personal car (Government Regulation No. 164) – it covers fuel, wear and maintenance. With a rental car the wear is included in the rental, so only fuel is counted: €0.09 per km (petrol ~€1.95/l, the November 2026 average, and a hybrid at ~4.5 l/100 km). The 20 km per working hour is an example, not a measured average – no such data exists for Estonia. In foreign studies ride-hailing drivers cover 40–50% of their kilometres without a passenger. For the most accurate result, enter your own mileage (shown in the app or on the odometer).

Bolt does not publish an hourly rate. According to Bolt, the median weekly income of drivers in Estonia was €818 in August 2026, but it does not say how many hours that took. Bolt’s commission was 25% according to its last public statement (2023); the current rate is shown in the driver app.

Entrepreneur account (Estonian Tax and Customs Board): the tax is 20% of the amount received, or 22%, 24% or 26% for members of the 2nd pension pillar. Costs (fuel, car) cannot be deducted and the basic exemption does not apply. If more than €40,000 a year is received, you must register as a sole proprietor or a company. Health insurance requires at least €2,436.50 a month.

A sole proprietor (FIE) can deduct costs but pays social tax of at least €292.38 a month (unless covered elsewhere) and 22% income tax. The calculator uses the same calculation as the FIE tax calculator. Under Wolt’s private-person contract, Wolt withholds the taxes itself.
