How much Glovo couriers are paid in November

In November, the Glovo delivery service posted a recruitment ad in several cities of Ukraine. The highest amounts are indicated in the job postings for Lviv and Kyiv.

In particular, in the offers from 7 November 2026 year, the following amounts are listed:

Lviv — up to 75 000 hryvnias per month;

Kyiv, left bank — up to 60 000 hryvnias per month.

For couriers driving cars in these vacancies, additional bonuses are provided: 2 000 hryvnias per week in Lviv and 3 000 hryvnias per week in Kyiv.

The company offers full or part-time employment, flexible schedule, and the ability to choose delivery times independently. At the same time, the listed amounts are the maximum potential income, not guaranteed payments to every worker.

What affects a Bolt courier’s earnings

Bolt Food does not have a single fixed monthly salary for all couriers. By platform rules, compensation is formed from a base rate, distance payment, and additional coefficients.

Factors influencing the final amount:

the number of deliveries completed;

the distance between the venue and the customer’s address;

hourly coefficients in different zones;

increased demand for delivery;

bonuses and tips.

According to official terms, Bolt couriers can choose their schedule themselves, and tips from customers are kept entirely by them. In many cities, payments are made weekly.

An OLX posting recruiting couriers to work with Bolt and Glovo in Kyiv also indicates an approximate range of 25 000 to 80 000 UAH per month. However, this is an employer’s offer on a classifieds platform, not an official income guarantee from Bolt.

How much money a courier pays in taxes

Separately, taxes must be considered if a person is registered as a sole proprietor. For example, for a third-category private entrepreneur without VAT in 2026 year, the following rates apply:

5% of income — single tax;

1% of income — military levy;

1 902,34 UAH per month — minimum unified social contribution (USC).

If a courier earns 45 000 UAH of income per month, then the single tax will be 2 250 UAH, and the military levy — 450 UAH. Along with the minimum USC, the obligatory payments will amount to 4 602,34 UAH.

Under this scenario, after taxes, 40 397,66 UAH will remain. However, this is not net profit: from this amount one must deduct fuel costs, vehicle maintenance, and possible intermediary fees.

At the same time, not all couriers work as third-category private entrepreneurs. Therefore, before starting cooperation, it is important to clarify exactly how the work is arranged, who is responsible for taxes, and what deductions are provided by the contract terms.

Recently, News.LIVE reported that employees may lose 20% of salary under certain conditions. This concerns cases where an employer has legitimate grounds to reduce payments. Therefore, workers should know in which situations part of their earnings may be at risk.

News.LIVE also reported on how teachers who work at two or more educational institutions are paid. The amount of payments depends on teaching load and terms of part-time work. At the same time, separate rules apply for calculating earnings for such workers.
