☆ A boomer Uber driver made over $100,000 but lost $80,000 to expenses and commissions. He shares why he plans to keep driving.

But after Uber took its cut and his driving expenses were accounted for, his profits fell to about $20,000. How commissions and driving expenses reduce drivers' profitsOf Ceran's roughly $83,000 in total business expenses, $38,000 consisted of Uber's booking and service fees — effectively the commission the company takes from drivers' earnings. After accounting for Uber's commission — and before expenses — Ceran saw as much as $65,000 in Uber income enter his bank account in 2023. The $44,000 deduction was an estimate for tax purposes, so it's possible his true vehicle expenses weren't quite that high. His first year driving Uber, 2016, was more eventful than anticipated: He got caught in Hurricane Matthew while driving in Norfolk, Virginia.
