How it works

  1. Enter your weekly earnings, hours and miles.
  2. Add your fuel economy, gas price and wear and tear per mile.
  3. Set the IRS mileage rate and your income tax rate.
  4. Read your real hourly take-home and how much to set aside for taxes.

Gross is not income

Rideshare and delivery earnings are self-employment income. Fuel, repairs and depreciation come out of your pocket, and you owe self-employment tax (15.3% on most profit) on top of income tax.

Mileage vs actual expenses

Most drivers deduct the IRS standard mileage rate. It often beats actual expenses, because it covers depreciation and maintenance in one number. Compare both in the table.

Frequently asked questions

What mileage rate should I use?

Use the IRS standard mileage rate for the tax year. It is editable here because the rate can change.

Does this include business miles to the first pickup?

Enter all miles you drive for the work, including miles to pick-ups. Commuting from home to your first stop generally is not deductible; check IRS rules.

Is it tax advice?

No. It is a simplified estimate to plan your week and quarterly payments.
