Figures are revenue before gas, vehicle costs, insurance and self-employment tax, not wages. Company-published ranges are national unless a row says otherwise, and any local pay rule is explained on this page. Actual earnings depend on hours worked, area covered and how many companies you sign up with through Service Club.

One metro, two states and a river in between
St. Louis is smaller than its name suggests: about 278,000 people on 62 square miles, and an independent city that has stood apart from St. Louis County since 1877. Clayton, University City, Kirkwood, Florissant and Chesterfield are separate towns in a separate county, and the metro around them holds about 2.8 million people. It also runs across the Mississippi into Illinois, where the Metro East adds almost 700,000 more in Belleville, O'Fallon, Granite City, Edwardsville, Alton, Collinsville and East St. Louis. For a delivery driver that means one market with two rulebooks, and routes that can start in one state and end in the other.
The bridges hold it together. The Poplar Street Bridge carries I-55, I-64 and US 40 from downtown to East St. Louis, the Stan Musial Veterans Memorial Bridge has carried I-70 since February 2014, the Eads Bridge of 1874 still takes cars on its top deck and MetroLink trains below, and I-270 crosses on the New Chain of Rocks Bridge to the north. On the Missouri side, food orders cluster downtown, where the Cardinals play at Busch Stadium beside Ballpark Village, the Blues at Enterprise Center and St. Louis CITY SC at Energizer Park, and in Soulard, home to the city's Mardi Gras and the oldest farmers' market west of the Mississippi.
No pay floor, a city earnings tax and two big campuses
Neither Missouri nor Illinois sets an earnings floor for app-based delivery work. Both states pay employees at least $15.00 an hour, Missouri since January 1, 2026 and Illinois since 2025, and a 2017 Missouri law keeps St. Louis from setting a higher rate. A minimum wage covers employees, not 1099 work, so on the apps a St. Louis shift earns gross revenue from offers and tips, before gas, insurance and wear, with no floor under a slow night. Inside the city line there is one more cost to plan for: St. Louis levies a 1% earnings tax on people who live or work there, and voters kept it for another five years in April 2026.
Students keep Midtown and the Central West End busy. Saint Louis University has more than 15,000 students along Grand Boulevard, and Washington University, with about 16,000, has its medical campus in the Central West End and its main campus on the edge of Clayton and University City, a short drive from the Delmar Loop.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about driving in St. Louis
Is there a minimum pay rate for delivery drivers in St. Louis?
No, on either side of the river. Missouri has no earnings floor for app-based delivery work, and Illinois has set no floor for app work either, so nothing changes when a delivery takes you into the Metro East. What you earn anywhere in the metro is whatever the companies pay, plus tips.
Does the minimum wage apply to me as a delivery driver in St. Louis?
Only if you are employed. The Missouri minimum wage reached $15.00 an hour on January 1, 2026, the last step of Proposition A, which voters passed in 2024, and a 2025 law ended the yearly inflation increases that were due to follow, so no rise is scheduled. Illinois has paid the same $15.00 since 2025. Both rates cover employees, and app delivery is independent contractor work, so neither reaches a quiet shift on the apps. St. Louis cannot set a higher rate of its own: a 2017 state law stops Missouri cities from doing so.
How much can I earn delivering in St. Louis?
Nobody publishes a St. Louis rate, so start from the national figures the companies print. Amazon Flex, which lists St. Louis among its locations, quotes up to $18 to $25 an hour for its blocks with tips counted in. Instacart pays $7 to $10 for a full-service batch before tips. DoorDash prices each offer on the time, distance and demand it involves and passes on every tip. Count all of it as gross revenue: gas, insurance and wear come out of it, and so does the city earnings tax where it applies. At tax time the IRS standard mileage rate is 76 cents a mile from July 1, 2026, and 72.5 cents for January to June.
What changes when I deliver across the river into Illinois?
The state, but not the pay rules. Neither side sets an earnings floor for app-based delivery work, the minimum wage is the same $15.00 on both sides, and the St. Louis earnings tax stops at the city line. The crossings downtown and to the north include the Poplar Street Bridge with I-55, I-64 and US 40, the Stan Musial Veterans Memorial Bridge, built toll-free for I-70 and open since February 2014, the Eads Bridge to East St. Louis, and the New Chain of Rocks Bridge on I-270. The old Chain of Rocks Bridge beside it has carried only walkers and cyclists since 1998.
Does the St. Louis earnings tax apply to delivery drivers?
It can. The City of St. Louis levies a 1% earnings tax on people who live or work in the city, and it pays for more than a third of the city's general revenue. State law requires a vote on it every five years, and on April 7, 2026 voters kept it by 85% to 15%. It is a city tax, so it does not reach St. Louis County, St. Charles County or the Metro East. How it applies to your own 1099 income depends on where you live and where you work, so ask a tax preparer before you file.
Can I work for several companies at the same time in St. Louis?
Yes, and in a metro split by a river it is how you cut the empty miles. A morning parcel block in the Metro East can be followed by dinner orders in the Central West End, and weekend grocery batches in St. Charles County fit around both. One Service Club signup covers the companies we work with, so the paperwork happens once.
Do I pay Service Club anything to find delivery work in St. Louis?
No, never. Service Club is free for drivers in St. Louis, in the Metro East and everywhere else: the companies we connect you with pay us, not you. Every dollar they pay you, tips included, is yours to keep.
