Courier salary in Uzbekistan (2026)

What couriers earn in Tashkent

Tashkent is the only city in the country where delivery works as a full market: order density is highest here, so earnings run above the regional centres. The median advertised courier salary is about 6.2 million som a month (Jan–Jul 2026), and the large majority of those vacancies are in the capital.

Market reviews quote 6–10 million, sometimes 15. There is no contradiction, but there is an important caveat: that is the top of the distribution, not the typical case. It describes a courier with a car or scooter working full shifts in central zones and taking evening hours. Half of all vacancies offer less than 6.2 million, and that is the more sensible figure to plan around.

One more reference point: the official "postal & courier activity" line sits at about 4.58 million som (H1 2026). It is below the market median because it counts salaried postal and delivery staff on fixed pay, not piece-rate platform couriers.

What a single delivery pays

Courier income is easier to understand per order than per month, because that is where the monthly figure comes from. In Tashkent the fixed payment for a delivery to the customer is 6,000 som, plus 1,700 som per kilometre of route, and the whole amount is multiplied by a demand coefficient of 1 to 3 depending on how many orders are live in your zone. In multi-orders the fixed part is paid for each order separately.

That makes the real arithmetic easy to see. A typical 3 km city delivery at coefficient 1 comes to about 11,000 som. To reach the median of 6.2 million a month you need roughly 550–560 such deliveries — around 20–22 orders a day over 26 working days. At peak hours the coefficient doubles or triples the payment, so couriers who work evenings and weekends reach the same income on fewer orders, and that is how the 10 million-plus figures are actually assembled.

Note that this is income before your own costs. Fuel, scooter or car upkeep and phone come out of your side, and on a vehicle that is a significant line.

What food-delivery couriers earn

Food delivery is the largest part of the market, and in Tashkent it is concentrated almost entirely around one platform: Express24's restaurant delivery has run on Yandex Eda technology since late 2024. So conditions for food couriers in the capital are close to those described above — a fixed amount per order plus distance and the demand coefficient.

What separates food delivery from courier work generally is not the rate but the rhythm: orders are shorter and denser, but concentrated in the lunch and evening peaks, so income depends heavily on being willing to work exactly those hours.

What couriers actually make

Courier pay is piece-rate: per order plus bonuses for peak hours and weather. In Tashkent, market reviews put typical full-time income at about 6–10 million som per month; the most active couriers on busy zones reach around 15 million, and food-delivery platforms advertise partner earnings up to about 8.4 million.

Your transport matters: car and scooter couriers take more orders per hour than walkers and earn accordingly — but fuel and vehicle costs come out of your side. For context, the official transport & storage sector average is 11.07 million som (H1 2026) — though that covers the whole sector including logistics and freight, not delivery.

What moves a courier’s income

• hours and shifts — evenings, weekends and bad weather pay bonuses
• transport — car/scooter beats walking on orders per hour, minus fuel costs
• platform and zone — dense central zones mean more orders
• per-order pay means income scales directly with time worked
