Tracking your earnings
Understanding your earnings can help you plan your day. The app has resources that can help you keep track of your earnings, see totals in real time, get details about a specific trip, compare earnings by week, and more.
How fares are calculated
You'll earn based on the time and distance of each trip.
Standard trip fare
Earn a base fare for every trip, plus amounts for each minute and mile you drive.
Surge
Check the heat map in your app to find out when and where rider demand is high, so you can potentially earn more.
Cancellations
Your time is valuable. When a rider cancels more than 2 minutes after you've accepted their trip, you'll be paid either the standard cancellation fee or the actual time and distance you spent driving toward the pickup, whichever amount is more.
Service fee
This is a fee Uber charges for trips made through the app that helps fund things like app development and customer support.
