Pricing
How much does TaskRabbit cost? You decide!
You name the price you want to pay for each Task you post, and your TaskRabbit makes at least what she bids. How awesome is that? Here's how it works:
Yay! It's your sister's birthday. Bummer… you live in different cities. You decide to hire a TaskRabbit to deliver flowers and serenade her with a rousing rendition of "Happy Birthday."
You name a TaskPrice of $30. Where does it go?
Your TaskRabbit's Pay
Most of your fee goes directly to your TaskRabbit, who makes at least what she bids.
$24.00
Service Fee
Your service fee is calculated on a sliding scale — the higher your TaskPrice, the lower your service fee.
$6.00
How is the service fee calculated?
Since we use a sliding scale, the service fee decreases as the TaskPrice increases. Here's how it breaks down:
- Tasks under $50 20% service fee
- Tasks between $50-$100 18% service fee
- Tasks over $100 12% service fee
How do I pay the TaskRabbit back for the flowers?
Expense Reimbursement
Expenses related to a Task are added to your final payment through the site. This amount isn't subject to a service fee.
$10.00
Your final payment to TaskRabbit.com will be your TaskPrice plus any reimbursements.
$40.00
How do you price a Task fairly?
You may be willing to spend $30 on your flower delivery Task, but how can you be sure that's a fair price for a TaskRabbit?
Some things to consider
Distance
Will your TaskRabbit need to commute a long distance to complete the Task?
Time
How long will the Task take to complete? Consider what your time is worth and price your Task fairly.
Schedule
Do you need your Task done in a hurry or within an inflexible time frame? Consider constraints such as these when pricing your Task.
Difficulty
Does your Task require a special skill, specific equipment, or a whole lot of lifting? Consider the effort your TaskRabbit must put in and include that in your TaskPrice.
