Enter your hours, distance and weekly delivery earnings. We subtract fuel and vehicle wear-and-tear to show your true net hourly pay — for DoorDash, Instacart and Amazon Flex drivers.
Unlike rideshare apps, delivery platforms don't show drivers a separate commission cut. The weekly earnings figure you see already includes base pay, customer tips, and any peak or promotional pay added on top. There is no gross fare for the platform to take a percentage from — what the app pays out is your real net from the deliveries themselves. That's why this calculator focuses on subtracting your actual running costs (fuel and vehicle wear) instead of a platform fee, to show what's really left in your pocket.
DoorDash, Instacart and Amazon Flex are all active in the US and Canada. Only Amazon Flex operates in the UK. DoorDash and Amazon Flex operate in Australia, and only DoorDash operates in New Zealand.
Delivery platforms pay drivers their real net earnings directly — base pay plus tips plus any peak or promotional pay — unlike rideshare apps that take a visible percentage cut from a gross fare. There's no separate commission to subtract, so this calculator deducts your actual running costs instead.
Fuel prices and vehicle costs vary by location, so you should 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.
Your estimate starts from your weekly payout and subtracts fuel cost (from your miles, fuel price, and vehicle efficiency), per-mile wear-and-tear, and any other weekly costs you enter. The remainder is your net profit, divided by your hours for true net hourly pay. Taxes are not subtracted, so set money aside separately.
