Drivers get a 25 percent commission on each paid order plus a $1 base commission for each order (including free products), with the average driver earning around $100-$115 per month. However the top 10 percent of drivers are converting somewhere between 30-60 percent of riders into customers and making up to $275 per month.
Wow. Given how mileage degrades a vehicle’s value, and leads to necessary service and repair, I would guess that Uber is a net loss for the driver. Now though, a cool $100-$275 per month? How insultingly bad is this gig economy? You can literally make more flipping burgers, or begging on a busy street corner.
