Business Insider wrote a piece called  Here's How Much Money You Can Really Earn As An Uber Driver . Uber claims $15/hour. The article states that after tolls, Uber's 20% cut, gas, car insurance, vehicle financing, and self employment taxes, the driver really only made $54.50 for 12 hours of driving.o if revenue is $400, uber gets $80, limo company gets $160 & driver gets $160. Driver needs to pay for gas so $160 - $25 gas = $135 net for an 8 hour shift. SUN-Wed are slower nights so approx $250-300 revenue for 8 hr shift. Before Mid Dec 2012, driver would average $550 revenue per 8-9 hr shift.
