Congrats to your brother on the new rideshare job! The average Uber driver salary in
New Jersey
is around $39,000 per year or around $19 per hour.If you decide to drive for Uber, your salary will ultimately depend on where you drive in New Jersey, the number of hours you drive, as well as how long you work for the company. New Uber drivers start off earning around $30,000, while more senior drivers earn around $39,000 on average.
You might also consider driving for Lyft. The average Lyft salary in New Jersey is around $68,000 per year or $33 per hour.
Don’t forget to factor in the costs of being a rideshare driver, like gas and wear and tear on your vehicle. You might also have to pay self-employment taxes on your earnings since Uber and Lyft drivers are independent contractors of the company.
Best of luck to you and your brother!
