Earnings Is this good?

Post image

My little brother did $1,700 in one week, 70 hours he thinks it’s good? Is that true. Also what is the best week anyone’s done?

Look at your bills and then look at your wages. Ask yourself, is this good? No need to ask Reddit.

Hello, I am not asking about him, it’s about what’s possible on uber in one week? What’s supposed to be good? Whats the highest

Who cares what Reddit says. Go out and work. Find out what reality numbers are.

Isn’t the minimum hourly pay in UK £18 an hour? He’s making minimum wage when you ideally want to be making more than that to account for gas prices.

It’s £10.85 for his age. The questions isn’t about him, it’s about what is possible on uber?

12.71 is minimum, he's done at the very least 80 hours in that car if his drive time is 71 hours. 80 hours of minimum wage is 1016. Zego is £1.16 an hour so that's -£80 and he's probably put £200 in fuel so it's probably less than or just about minimum wage which is exactly how Uber like it. This doesn't even factor in ware and tear on the car either.

This tracks. I can pretty consistently pull 1000 (gross) a week with less than 50 hours.

Wish my market was like OP and tips were similar. This week tips were around 40% of my earnings. It would be nice for stability if base pay made up the vast majority of pay.

Tips barley make 20-30% of my earnings not sure if it’s my area or because I’m only gold

I do a fair amount of shopping. Maybe that skews it.

u/Status_Geologist8721 21h ago

That’s probably it
I hate shopping orders unless it’s costco wholesale or a grocery store I know very well

I’ll never understand the “is this good?“ question.

Everyone is in a different place and everyone has different financial needs. It’s good if it’s enough for you. No one else can tell you that
