Cash from passengers: how it’s settled and why your payout is smaller
A passenger paid cash — then that amount “disappears” from your payout. Here’s simply why, and how to check it.
In short
- Cash you receive from a passenger is part of your earnings — it’s already in your pocket.
- So in the settlement we subtract it from the amount paid by transfer.
- You also pay the flat-rate tax on cash — just like on “rental” payouts.
01An example
Cash isn’t a deduction — you simply received it earlier, directly from the passenger.
| Line | Amount |
|---|---|
| Uber and Bolt earnings for the week | 3,199.42 zł |
| Cash from passengers (Bolt) | − 144.62 zł |
| Cash from passengers (Uber) | − 254.80 zł |
| Left to settle by transfer | ≈ 2,800.00 zł |
02What to watch
- always confirm the cash amount received in the app
- if a passenger didn’t pay, report it in the app right away
- Bolt may show a small online cash-register (e-kasa) fee in your settlement
