Calculate how much money you can earn by driving for Uber or Lyft

Interested in driving for Uber or Lyft and wondering how much rideshare drivers make? You can get an idea of how much money you'll earn driving for Uber or Lyft by using our rideshare earnings calculator. This driver pay calculator will ask you to do the following:

  • Enter a time frame, choosing from a day, week, month or specific number of days
  • Select a cost per mile
  • Next, you enter per-ride fees that you must pay to your rideshare company, if any. (Examples: Booking fee; trust and safety fee or other fees charged to conduct background checks and cover operational costs.)
  • Then, you enter the number of miles driven, total fares collected, hours worked and hit "Calculate" to get your earnings for the selected time period.

Your Uber estimate for earnings (or Lyft) will be provided by the calculator, and give you an average idea of what you can earn with Uber or Lyft. You'll have to bear in mind other costs, like auto insurance. If the calculator provides a negative result, that indicates that, based on the current parameters, you wont make money; reconsider your approach to rideshare driving and take a deeper look at the costs.
