Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate my real hourly rate as a gig worker?

Your real hourly rate is your gross earnings minus all expenses (gas, wear and tear, platform fees, other costs) divided by total hours worked. GigExit's journal auto-calculates this for you when you log your weekly earnings, giving you an accurate take-home rate after all deductions.

Why should I track my gig earnings weekly instead of monthly?

Weekly tracking helps you spot earning trends and patterns faster, identify which platforms or strategies are most profitable, and catch income problems before they compound. Logging consistently also prevents forgetting important details like mileage and expenses that directly impact your real rate.

What expenses should I include when logging my gig work earnings?

Include gas spent, vehicle miles driven (for wear and tear calculations), platform fees, and any other direct business expenses like phone bills or equipment. These deductions are crucial for calculating your actual take-home pay and understanding true profitability per hour.

Can I track earnings from multiple gig platforms in one journal?

Yes, GigExit's Weekly Earnings Journal lets you log earnings from Uber, DoorDash, Lyft, Instacart, Amazon Flex, and other platforms all in one place. You can view your combined real hourly rate across all platforms to see which ones are worth your time.
