If you drive your own vehicle for gig work, you may be able to deduct $0.725 per mile using the IRS standard mileage rate for 2026. This deduction often reduces taxable income far more than drivers expect. The IRS standard mileage rate can change annually. Always verify the current rate when filing taxes.
This calculator estimates take-home pay only. Mileage deductions are claimed when you file taxes, not paid by the platform.

How to estimate Uber Eats income
Uber Eats income starts with delivery pay, promotions, and tips, but your real take-home depends on miles, expenses, and taxes. Enter your weekly earnings, hours, and miles to estimate what you may actually keep.
How much does Uber Eats pay per mile?
Uber Eats does not use one fixed per-mile rate. Pay can depend on delivery pay, tips, promotions, distance, time, and market. To estimate your own per-mile result, use:
- Gross pay per mile: gross earnings / miles driven
- Take-home pay per mile: estimated take-home / miles driven

How Uber Eats pay typically breaks down
- Gross earnings may include base delivery pay, promotions, and tips (depending on reporting).
- Delivery costs can include more stop-and-go driving and parking-track what you can.
- Miles matter because fuel and wear can quickly eat into take-home.
- Taxes are generally based on net profit, not gross earnings.
Tip: If you do stacked orders, your gross can look great-but net depends heavily on miles + time.
