The gig economy sells you freedom. We show you what it actually costs. Calculate your true take-home after gas, taxes, wear, and hidden fees.
App earnings look great on the surface. But after platform fees, self-employment tax, mileage, maintenance, and unpaid wait time — most gig workers earn far less than they think.
Every gig worker goes through it. Short trips, big payouts, the feeling that you cracked the code. Then the orders get longer, the gas bill spikes, the oil change hits, and you're sitting in a pickup line scarfing down a Circle K hotdog between runs — frantically tapping "accept" on what you thought was a solid $1-per-mile order.
Nobody tells you that $1/mile is gross. Nobody mentions the empty return trip. Nobody explains the 15.3% self-employment tax waiting for you in April.
