• However, a recent conversation regarding London Uber driver earnings has left people stunned.
• A Redditor questioned,  “is it true an uber driver makes £1000/week (Rs 93275.59/week) in London?”
• An Uber driver could easily “take” £200 a day in fares, but you would then have to subtract all of your costs from that – vehicle, tax, insurance, fuel, congestion charge, licensing etc.

Many think Uber drivers are adequately rewarded, especially when fares rise for various reasons. However, a recent conversation regarding London Uber driver earnings has left people stunned.

A Redditor questioned,  “is it true an uber driver makes £1000/week (Rs 93275.59/week) in London?”, A user replied that one could easily “take” £200 (Rs 18655.12) a day, but they would have to subtract all other expenditures like a vehicle, tax, insurance, fuel, etc.

User, “Define “make”. An Uber driver could easily “take” £200 a day in fares, but you would then have to subtract all of your costs from that – vehicle, tax, insurance, fuel, congestion charge, licensing etc.”

Drivers make money from fares, but after deducting all costs, their net revenue is much lower. The driver’s schedule, location, and duration affect the pay.

Another person noted Uber’s 25% commission. The user stated, “Then comes the expensive 25 per cent commission for the pleasure of cooperating with Uber. That is £750 (Rs 69956.69) a week. £39,000 before expenditures. £3,250 (Rs 303145.67) monthly, about.

Uber drivers recorded their earnings on Indeed, and majority earn less than the London living wage of £19,000 (Rs 1772236.20) a year.

A driver on Indeed stated, “You can work when you want which is good, but running a private hire vehicle is expensive. You need to keep the car clean and tidy which is more difficult in the winter.”

In conclusion, some Uber drivers get a living wage, but most don’t make more than other service workers.
