The numbers shown first are examples to show how the sum works. Replace every one with your own: nothing here is a quote.
How the sum works
Yearly sales are your orders a week times your average order, times 52 weeks. The commission is that figure times the rate on your statement.
The first rate shown is a common one, not a claim about any one company. Change it to the rate on your last statement.
Both the sales and the commission are shown before sales tax. The app takes its cut of what the guest orders, and sales tax is collected on top of that by the business.
Each point of commission is worth one hundredth of your yearly delivery sales, so a lower rate on the same orders is easy to price.
