The national minimum wage in Nigeria is ₦35,000. Top drivers in Bolt can earn as high as about ₦300,000 per month. However, different factors determine how much a driver can earn per month. For instance, a Bolt driver in busy areas of Lagos may earn more than another Bolt driver in Ogun state.

Bolt charges a flat commission of 20% on every trip across Nigeria. Performance and efficiency predominantly affect a driver’s earnings in Bolt. Other factors that affect Bolt driver’s earnings include;

LOCATION: As mentioned earlier, location plays a big role in determining how much bolt drivers earn. Bolt drivers who earn big are usually strategically located in busy areas like airports, shopping malls, hotels, bus stations etc where demand will be high.  

SURGE: A surge happens when the demand for bolt drivers rises more than usual. At times like this, any available Bolt driver earns more. The top drivers increase earnings by driving in the morning and evening rush hours.

BONUSES: Bolt offers certain bonuses that can increase the earnings of drivers. For instance, a Bolt driver earns extra money by meeting certain conditions such as the number of trips made during a certain period, the number of hours online, or the average rating. Drivers are usually notified of these bonuses via the Bolt app or emails.

TIPS: Some riders are benevolent and tend to give Bolt drivers extra tips for the great service offered. This is where your efficiency as a bolt driver can help you increase your earnings.

RATING: Rating is simply customer feedback on your driving experience. Bolt users have the privilege of rating bolt drivers from 1-5 stars. A driver with a high rating stands a chance of getting bonuses from Bolt which in turn increases earnings. Conversely, a driver with perpetual low ratings stands the risk of losing their driving privileges with Bolt.

Generally, taking into consideration all the factors stated above, broadly speaking, top drivers in Lagos, could make ₦350,000 at the end of the month while drivers in Abuja, can make ₦280,000.
