Add up a shift across DoorDash, Uber Eats and any other app, fold in cash and card tips, then divide by the miles you drove, the hours you worked and the deliveries you ran. A second section backs out fuel (from your local gas price and MPG) plus tolls and parking, so the net per hour and net per mile are the numbers you actually kept.
Per-mile pay is the figure that decides whether a delivery app is worth your car: compare your net per mile against the IRS standard mileage rate (70 cents a mile for 2025), which is the government's estimate of what each driven mile really costs once wear, insurance and depreciation are included.
Frequently asked questions
What is good per-mile pay for DoorDash?
A widely used rule is at least $1 per mile gross and never below the IRS standard rate (70 cents/mile for 2025) net — below that, depreciation and fuel eat the earnings. This calculator shows both gross and net per mile so you can judge each shift honestly.
How do I calculate my real hourly rate as a delivery driver?
Divide total earnings (all apps plus tips) by total hours including waiting time between orders — then subtract fuel and other costs and divide again. The second number is your true wage; most drivers overestimate it by forgetting the unpaid waiting and the mileage cost.
Should I track DoorDash and Uber Eats separately?
Yes for deciding where to drive, which is why this calculator takes per-app earnings. Compare each app's share of pay against its share of your miles and hours — the app that looks best on gross can be worst per mile once dead miles between its orders are counted.
