European Tech Analysis

Posted on 28. October 2014 Written by Marcel Weiss

“In several months of reporting on Uber, I have yet to come across a single driver earning the equivalent of $90,766 a year. Those I’ve spoken with report that they gross around $1,000 a week after commission and sales tax—but before gas and other expenses—for annual income closer to $50,000. And despite broadcasting the $90,766 figure far and wide, Uber has so far proved unable to produce one driver earning that amount.”

Uber driver salary: The ride-sharing company says its drivers make great money, but its math just doesn’t add up.
