It’s a good idea to research income before you try Uber Eats out! According to Zip Recruiter, full-time Uber Eats drivers in New York City make an average of $40,174 a year—about $19 an hour.
Keep in mind that different areas in New York range higher and lower, but that salary is lower than the national average of $40,758. When you’re making your decision, don’t forget to factor in the high
cost of living in New York
. Plus, you’ll have to factor in typical
rideshare expenses
like gas, car maintenance, and
car insurance
.
Given how time-consuming it is and the toll it takes on your car or bicycle, delivery services like Uber Eats might be more viable as supplemental income to another job than as a full-time job. Of course, this depends on your lifestyle and other expenses!
