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.
The average Uber driver makes about $19 an hour. Here in LA, I make between $19-$23 an hour. In New York drivers make over $30 an hour. Driving full-time, the average Uber driver in the U.S. can make around $40,000 net a year (after expenses and taxes).
