Last checked 29/09/2026.
Deliveroo processes fees every Tuesday for orders completed Monday to Sunday the week before, and they should reach your account by midnight. If a payment is more than 12 hours late, Deliveroo says it will tell you.
To be paid sooner, tap your current balance on the Earnings page and confirm. Before 17:30 on a weekday it arrives straight away; later, or at the weekend, the next working day. Each cash out costs 50p, shown as a transaction fee on your invoice, which is a business expense.
