Rideshare drivers keep asking, “how much does uber pay in my city?”, “how much does uber pay per mile?”, “how much does uber pay per minute?”, etc.
A recent Reddit thread asked drivers how much Uber pays in their city, and we have collected the results including the per-mile rate and the per-minute rate. We want to keep this page up to date, so please send us your rate card or leave a comment so we can update the rates for your city.
How does Uber calculate driver pay?
Per Mile Fee: Uber pays drivers a fee of $X.XX per mile driven (find your city’s per-mile fee below)
Per Minute Fee: Uber pays drivers a fee of $X.XX per minute. This is in addition to the per-mile fee. (find your city’s per-minute fee below)
There are a few other things to consider. Base Fare, Boost, Promotions, and Surge are not included in these rates. What are they?
Base Fare: Each ride starts with a base fare. This is a flat fee charged to the rider at the beginning of the ride.
Boost: Boost promotions multiply the amount earned for each trip. If your boost multiple is 2x, on a trip that would normally pay $15, you’ll earn $30 instead. You’ll see Boost promos in the app and in emails from Uber.
Promotions: Uber sometimes offers promotions (promos) on top of the other pay. Some Uber promos will be an additional $100 if you complete X trips this week, or something similar. Sometimes, these proms can be quite lucrative. Sometimes not. It all depends on the demand for drivers in your city.
Surge: At times with peak demand, Uber will create surge areas on the map. Rides taken in these areas can have either a multiplier for the fare, a flat additional bonus for the ride, or an upfront fare that may be higher than the standard fare shown in the Uber app.
