Real $/hour is your gross earnings minus the cash it cost to earn them: gas (entered, or estimated from your MPG and local gas price), vehicle wear & maintenance (a per-mile reserve — tires, oil, brakes, depreciation), tolls, and platform fees — divided by your hours online, not just time on trips.
The tax set-aside uses your region's per-mile deduction method: the IRS standard mileage rate ($0.70/mi, 2026) in the US, or HMRC's AMAP simplified expenses (45p/mi for the first 10,000 business miles each tax year, 25p after) in the UK. We subtract that deduction from your gross to estimate taxable profit, then apply your tax rate (self-employment tax / Class 4 NI + income). The mileage deduction replaces actual fuel & maintenance costs on your taxes — we never double-count.
Accept/decline compares a ping's payout per mile against what each mile actually costs you to drive, so the green light means profit — not just revenue. Tune all assumptions under “Your car & costs.”
