What skipping one order a week keeps
Order total in rupees across the top. The row shows the rupees kept per year.
| 250 | 350 | 450 | 550 | 700 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Keep per year | 13,000 | 18,200 | 23,400 | 28,600 | 36,400 |
How to find your order total
Open the order history in your delivery app. The total paid is usually at the bottom of each order and includes delivery, platform fee, taxes and any tip. Add up the last ten orders and divide by ten. That is your average order total. Round it to the nearest column above.
Reading the chart
- At 3 orders a week and Rs 450 an order, the habit costs Rs 70,200 a year, about Rs 5,850 a month.
- Moving from 3 orders to 2 at the same order total keeps Rs 23,400 a year.
- Moving the average order from Rs 450 to Rs 350 at 3 orders a week keeps Rs 15,600 a year, which is why skipping add-ons matters as much as skipping orders.
