WORKING AS A DRIVER
Gross fares are not take-home income.
That is why TPI does not put one dramatic earnings figure on this page.START WITHGross takings
The fares and other eligible income generated by your work.
THEN ACCOUNT FOR
- Vehicle ownership or rental
- Insurance
- Fuel or charging
- Maintenance
- Licensing and compliance costs
- Tax
- Unpaid waiting and travel time
Use your own numbers
Hours, location, demand and costs vary too much for one figure to describe every driver. If you are considering taxi work, build a personal budget and keep gross revenue separate from the money left after operating and tax costs.
