Your net earnings on Bluwalk are calculated by taking into account global Earnings and Deductions.
Earnings represent the net value of your trips.
Deductions represent all the costs you have incurred in making those same trips. These costs, common across all partners, are:
- VAT - In Portugal, all trips made through Ride Share digital platforms include VAT at the legal rate in force of 6%.
- Service fee - It is the amount that Bluwalk withholds for the service provided and corresponds to:
- 5% of the overall earnings, when driving with a Bluwalk provided vehicle.
- 15% of the overall earnings, when driving with your own vehicle.
In the case of TVDE partners, the following deductions are also usual:
- Use of the vehicle - cost of car rental
- Fuel and electricity - value used in fuel and charges
- Tolls - value used to pay tolls
Below is an example of an extract, where you first see the final balance, i.e. the net earnings. This amount is the result of subtracting the deductions from the earnings.
