How much do Uber drivers make in Phoenix Arizona?
I need a part-time job that’s flexible enough to allow me to look after my kids in the afternoons. I’ve had trouble finding anything so I’m looking into driving for Uber. How much do Uber drivers make in Phoenix Arizona?
Bonnie Stinson · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
As a busy urban center, Phoenix is full of people needing car share services like Uber and Lyft. Drivers in this city can expect to earn between $10 and $20 per hour, or about $40,000 per year before taxes.
It’s important to realize that, as a rideshare driver, you’re an independent contractor. This means that you are responsible for your expenses like fuel and regular maintenance. You must also pay taxes on your earnings, meaning your take-home pay will be substantially lower than the figures listed above.
Ultimately, your income as an Uber driver depends on many factors. It depends on when you drive and where you drive, most importantly. You won’t make as much as an Uber driver in Los Angeles, but you’ll make more than a driver in other parts of the country.
You’ll earn the most if you can make yourself available during busy times, like the morning and evening commutes, 2 AM when the bar crowds are going home, and whenever flights come into the airport. It’ll take some research and trial-and-error, but this could be a good option to provide flexible income so you can care for your little ones.
