Method: US self-employment tax is 15.3% on 92.35% of net profit. Income tax applies the rate you choose to the same profit, a simplification. Per-mile wear and depreciation are your estimates.

The problem

Gig platforms report gross earnings, which is a misleading number. Fuel, vehicle depreciation, maintenance, insurance, tolls, unpaid waiting time and self-employment tax all come out of it.

So drivers work the wrong hours, accept the wrong jobs, and are surprised by a tax bill they never set aside for. Nobody shows them the true number.

Who it is for

  • Multi-platform drivers

    Delivery and rideshare drivers working across several platforms.

  • Accountants
