Templates for Gig & Rideshare Drivers.
Earnings, mileage, and tax tools for rideshare and delivery drivers — Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, Uber Eats, Instacart, Grubhub, Amazon Flex — built to show what a mile really costs and what each shift actually kept. Run the money side of driving from one connected file you own.
Know what each shift actually kept
A busy week and nothing extra in the bank is how gig drivers lose money. The app shows a big gross number, and the gas, the tires, and the miles you drove for free between orders quietly eat it. Come tax time, the mileage log that turns into your biggest deduction was never kept. The tools here keep your true dollars per hour, your business miles, and your Schedule-C expenses in one place, so you can tell whether each shift — and each app — actually paid.
Never pinned down your real number? Start free with the gig-driver hourly calculator — enter one shift's earnings, hours, and miles, no signup — then read what the standard mileage deduction is and why it's usually a driver's biggest write-off.
Want the method behind the number? Walk through how to calculate your true rideshare hourly rate, then weigh a spreadsheet vs a mileage tracking app for the way you actually drive.

A note on the tax framing. The mileage deduction and the expense categories here are structured for a typical U.S. gig driver filing a Schedule C, but they aren't licensed tax advice. The IRS standard mileage rate changes every year, which deduction method wins depends on your car, and your state and local rules are yours to confirm — a tax professional is worth it. Platform names are used generically to describe the work; these tools are not affiliated with or endorsed by Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, Instacart, the IRS, or any platform.
