New York first exempted clothing and footwear under $110 from its 4 percent sales tax in 2000, but it has periodically suspended the exemption to balance the stateâs budget.
As you can see, the driverâs income doubled in this example, but the driver doesnât have to do any additional work. Fortunately, a 2.0x surge is pretty common during busy times. How much do Uber drivers make on average? On average, most Uber drivers will make in the $15-$20/hr range. When Uber surveyed its drivers, they found drivers earned around $19/hour, with drivers in New York topping out at $30/hr. The goal of an Uber driver is to always be moving with a passenger in the car, but that doesnât always happen.
This post originally appeared in Business Insider. Uber has made some lofty claims about just how much its drivers can make a year. Uber has said its UberX drivers can make $90,000 a year in New York. It says drivers can make up to $60,000 per year in Dallas.ven though Uber has said its low-cost drivers in New York could make up to $90,000 per year driving at least 40 hours per week, this driver isnât too fazed by that because heâs still able to make a living off being solely an Uber driver.
