About Takeaway Spend Per Year Calculator

Each order's true cost adds delivery, service and tips as a percentage of the food value, then the annual figure multiplies by orders a week times 52. Fees and tips routinely add close to a fifth, which is why the app total feels higher than the menu prices suggest.
