How the calculation works

Daily earnings = (trips × average fare) − commission − daily costs. Annual view adds tips, then multiplies by working days and working weeks.

A worked example

18 trips at £12.50 produce £225 in daily fares. After 20% commission and £25 of costs, £155 remains before tax. Five working days give £775.

What to allow for

  • The four-week figure is weekly earnings × 4, not an average calendar month.
  • The optional tax illustration retains the original 2024/25 model for a self-employed driver in England, Wales or Northern Ireland: 20%, 40% and 45% income tax bands, plus 6% and 2% Class 4 NI. It excludes Scottish bands, other income, allowance tapering, student loans, pension adjustments and Class 2 contributions.
  • The tax illustration is hidden above £100,000 annual profit because the original model does not handle allowance tapering. Check your circumstances and tax year with an accountant.

Useful questions

Is this guaranteed income?

No. Fares, demand, downtime and expenses vary. Use a quiet week as well as a busy week to understand the range.

Why do the monthly figures differ?

The basic view covers exactly four working weeks. The annual tax illustration divides annual earnings after estimated tax by 12, including your non-working weeks.
