Enter your hours, distance and weekly earnings. We subtract fuel, platform commission and vehicle wear-and-tear to show your true net hourly pay — like a taxi meter for your real bottom line.
Uber and Lyft take a percentage cut, commonly called a commission, from each fare before paying the driver. That rate can vary by market and vehicle tier, so there is no single percentage that applies to every trip. Check your own driver app for the exact rate being applied to your rides rather than assuming a flat percentage.
Lyft currently operates only in the US and Canada, while Uber operates in all five countries covered by this calculator.
Commission rates and fuel prices vary by city, so adjust the default values to match your own market for the most accurate result.
This tool estimates pre-tax net profit and does not calculate income tax or self-employment tax, since drivers are independent contractors responsible for their own tax filing.
Vehicle wear-and-tear includes tires, oil changes, brake wear, and the vehicle's loss in resale value from extra mileage.
Your estimate starts from your weekly earnings, subtracts the platform commission (when you enter gross fares), fuel cost from your distance and fuel price, per-mile depreciation, and any other weekly costs you enter. The remainder is your net profit, divided by your hours for true net hourly pay.
