💵 Understanding Minimum Pay for Bundle Runs

2 min. readlast update: 12.03.2025

When browsing Available Runs in your GoPeople Runner App, you’ll see an amount displayed for each bundle run—for example $93.53, $129.24, etc.
This amount is your Minimum Pay.

This article explains what Minimum Pay means and how your final earnings are calculated.


🧩 1. What Is Minimum Pay?

Minimum Pay is the guaranteed amount you will earn for a bundle run.
Even if a run has very few orders (or the sender doesn’t prepare enough jobs), you will still receive the full minimum amount.

👉 Example:
If the Minimum Pay is $93.53, you will earn $93.53 even if only one delivery is provided.


🎯 2. Why Do We Have Minimum Pay?

Minimum Pay ensures fairness.
When you reserve your time for a sender, you are guaranteed payment—even if:

  • The sender has fewer orders than expected

  • Items are delayed or cancelled

  • The workload is lighter due to factors outside your control

This system protects your income and ensures reliability.


🧮 3. How Your Final Pay Is Calculated

Bundle runs are paid based on EWT (Estimated Working Time) for the actual work you complete.

Case A — EWT Is More Than the Minimum Covered Time

  • Minimum Pay: $93.53 (covering 3 hours)

  • Actual EWT: 4 hours

  • You will be paid for 4 hours, not 3.

👉 You always get paid more if the actual working time exceeds the covered minimum.


Case B — EWT Is Less Than the Minimum Covered Time

  • Minimum Pay: $93.53 (covering 3 hours)

  • Actual EWT: 2 hours

  • You will still receive $93.53

👉 Your pay never goes below the advertised minimum.


💡 4. Why Runners Often Earn More Than the Minimum

Your final pay frequently exceeds the minimum because:

  • Most runs take longer than the minimum included time

  • Your payout may include:

    • Distance levy

    • Toll fees

    • Special bonuses

This means real earnings are often higher than the minimum displayed.
