Mainland private sector. These are statutory minimums for the listed categories, not average salaries or take-home pay. They are not a Zanzibar or public-service pay table, and a contract can pay more.
Choose the right category
Postal and courier services have their own transport-sector row. The floor is not a platform payout per delivery and does not show profit after fuel, maintenance and mobile data.
Questions to settle before accepting
Clarify fuel, repairs, insurance arrangements, failed deliveries, cash collection and responsibility for damaged items. Ask which costs are reimbursed and how evidence is submitted.
Make a fair comparison
For an own-vehicle offer, calculate a realistic operating budget separately. Do not present gross delivery receipts as take-home pay.
