Track delivery-driver shift earnings after driving expenses
The amount a delivery platform pays is only the start of the earnings story. To understand your shift, compare gross income with fuel, vehicle and other costs.
Gross earnings and estimated net earnings
Gross is the amount earned before costs. A basic estimated net after direct driving costs subtracts fuel or charging, vehicle maintenance and depreciation, and other logged costs. This is a planning measure, not automatically your taxable profit.
Example: one four-hour shift
A shift earns $80 gross. You record $8 of fuel, $6 in estimated vehicle costs and $4 in other costs. The estimated net is $62, or $15.50 per hour across four hours. Your actual expenses and tax treatment may differ.
