From weekly pay to a yearly picture
A good week feels great, but rent, car payments and taxes are yearly facts. This calculator multiplies your average weekly hours and pay across the weeks you plan to work, then subtracts your real car costs and an estimate of federal taxes to show what you keep.
Why weeks per year matters
Few drivers work all 52 weeks. Sick days, car repairs, holidays and slow seasons add up. Using 46 to 48 weeks gives a more honest yearly number.
About the tax estimate
The tax estimate assumes this is your only income, that you file as single, take the 2026 standard deduction ($16,100), and deduct your miles at the IRS rate of 72.5 cents. It includes self-employment tax and federal income tax, but not state or local tax. For quarterly payment amounts, use the quarterly tax calculator.
Using this for loans and rentals
Landlords and lenders often ask gig workers for proof of income. They usually look at your tax return, which shows profit after the mileage deduction, not your gross pay. That's why your "income" on paper can look lower than what the apps paid you. Plan for that before you apply.
