The app shows what you earned; it never shows what it cost. Gas, depreciation, and unpaid miles between rides decide whether gig driving pays $25 an hour or $9. These tools compute the honest number.
(Earnings − gas − per-mile vehicle cost) ÷ total hours including waiting and driving to pickups. Use a per-mile cost of $0.30–0.45 depending on your car. Drivers who skip this step routinely overestimate their wage by 30–40%.
Only if the surge premium exceeds the deadhead cost: miles to the zone × your per-mile cost + time value. A $6 surge 15 minutes away is often break-even at best. The percentage calculator helps compare per-hour rates across zones quickly.
You are a 1099 contractor — no withholding. A common rule is 20–25% of net earnings set aside per payout, plus quarterly estimated payments. The savings goal calculator converts your estimated annual tax bill into a per-week deposit.
Run the car true cost calculator: at 30,000+ miles a year, depreciation and maintenance often exceed $0.80/mile — the IRS rate exists for a reason. When repairs outpace a payment, the car affordability calculator sets a budget from your actual net gig income, and lease-vs-buy tells you whether a high-mileage driver should ever lease (usually no — mileage penalties punish gig work).
