Gig Driver Profit Tracker

The app that grosses the most is not always the app that pays the most. Gross pay ignores the miles, and the miles are the cost: every business mile at the IRS standard rate is money already spent on fuel, wear and depreciation whether it shows on a receipt or not. This tracker nets it out, in one Google Sheets file, 7 tabs. Log each shift once — app, hours, trips, base pay, tips, promos — and the Profit-Per-Hour Board rebuilds every week per app: gross, miles, mileage cost, expense share, net profit, and dollars per hour, with the week's best app flagged. An Offer Scorecard checks any offer against your own minimum dollars-per-mile and dollars-per-hour bars and grades each app-week STRONG, MIXED or BELOW BAR.

The fictional sample driver, Alex R., works 24 shifts across DoorDash, Uber Eats, Lyft and Instacart over six weeks: $2,460 gross on 1,286 miles, $900.20 of mileage cost at the sample $0.70 rate, and $1,323.80 kept — $10.22 an hour blended. DoorDash grosses the most at $698, yet Lyft keeps the most per hour at $14.25, and Uber Eats the least at $6.36. The tax set-aside runs at an editable 25% of net in the samples. A planning tool, not tax advice.
