Gig Economy

Wondering how much you can make with Uber Eats? This calculator translates your weekly hours, local market demand, and vehicle costs into a realistic gross-to-net earnings picture. Most U.S. couriers gross between $14 and $22 per hour before expenses, and net roughly $9 to $16 per hour after gas, depreciation, and self-employment tax. For example, 25 hours per week in an average market at $17/hr gross works out to about $22,100 gross per year — but after $4,500 in vehicle costs and 15.3% SE tax, real take-home lands closer to $14,000.
