Use your own platform statements, work hours, and vehicle costs to calculate operating profit and net hourly return. Do not judge the job by passenger fares or gross app earnings: the result depends on your city, vehicle, working pattern, incentives, and local tax and contribution rules.

Use a consistent period and calculate what you actually keep

Gather several representative weeks of records, or at least one complete incentive cycle if bonuses depend on meeting targets. Calculate each platform separately, using the same dates and accounting method. A single unusually busy week or a bonus you did not qualify for can give a misleading picture.

Use this practical operating-profit formula:

Operating profit = driver payouts + earned incentives + tips + other genuine income − actual work costs

Net hourly return = operating profit ÷ total work hours

Use the payout shown in your statement when it is already after platform fees. If the statement instead shows earnings before a fee or revenue share, subtract that charge once. Check the statement’s labels rather than assuming that a displayed fare is the amount paid to you.

Keep reimbursements separate in your records. If you add a reimbursement to income, include the matching expense as a cost; alternatively, exclude both from the profit calculation. Do not count a reimbursed toll as income while omitting the toll, or subtract a fee or cost twice because it is already netted from a payout.

Build the calculation from your records

  1. Choose the period. Use the same start and end dates for both platforms, and include a full incentive cycle when one applies.
  2. Read each platform statement. Record trip earnings or payouts, tips, bonuses actually earned, reimbursements, and any separately shown platform charges. Note whether amounts are gross or already net of fees.
  3. Record all work time. Include time online and available, waiting for requests, driving to pickups, completing trips, repositioning, and handling work-related tasks. Do not divide by only the time a passenger was in the vehicle.
  4. Record work distance and energy use. Track work kilometers or miles, including pickup and repositioning distance where possible, plus fuel or charging quantity and cost.
  5. List vehicle and job costs. Include rental payments or an allocated share of ownership costs, maintenance and repairs, tires, insurance, road tax, parking, cleaning, phone and data, platform charges not already deducted, and tolls not reimbursed.
  6. Calculate profit and return. Add driver payouts, earned incentives, tips, and other genuine income; subtract the costs once; divide by all work hours.
  7. Keep tax and statutory contributions separate. Apply the rules for your location and status rather than treating operating profit as take-home pay.

A spreadsheet is enough; a mileage or expense logbook can also help organize odometer readings, fuel, and costs. Keep receipts and statements so you can check how each figure was classified.

Measure more than hourly return

Net hourly return is the central comparison, but a second measure can show whether a platform’s results depend on driving more distance. Calculate operating profit per work kilometer (or mile) by dividing operating profit for the period by work distance for that period. Use the same distance definition for both platforms. This is particularly useful when fuel, charging, rental terms, or empty driving differ.

This suction phone cradle obtained CP65 / REACH / RoHS safety certifications

For a fair Grab-versus-GoTo comparison, hold the city, vehicle arrangement, dates, working hours, and cost method as constant as you can. Record these alongside the results:

  • Time waiting for jobs, traveling to pickups, and repositioning.
  • How much of the return came from incentives and whether you reliably met their conditions.
  • Vehicle rental or ownership costs and the distance needed to earn the payout.
  • How platform fees, revenue sharing, and payout statements are presented in your market.
  • Applicable taxes and mandatory contributions, assessed separately from operating profit.

These measures can produce different conclusions: one platform may show a higher payout total but require more hours or distance to earn it. There is no universal net hourly figure that can establish whether either platform is worthwhile for every driver.

Interpret platform statements in their local context

Grab Singapore

Grab’s Singapore Help Centre describes transport-driver earnings as including pickup fare, trip fare, and driver fee, with tips, spot bonuses, reimbursements, and a Grab service fee shown as separate components. It describes the service fee as the difference between driver earnings and passenger fare, and says the fee may be lower for similar trips when the pickup journey is longer. The Help Centre says statements are available weekly, monthly, and annually. These are Singapore descriptions; check the labels and amounts in your own account.

Grab Malaysia

Grab’s Malaysia page for an improved earnings structure describes the relationship as “Driver-Partner Earnings = Pickup Fare + Trip Fare – Grab Service Fee (GSF).” The page presents it as a proof of concept or trial for specified Malaysian cities and eligible services, not as a universal or current rule for every Grab driver. It illustrates why pickup treatment and fee mechanics need to be checked for the relevant market and service.

GoTo and Gojek Indonesia

Gojek’s Indonesian GoCar help page distinguishes a platform fee paid by the customer to Gojek from trip fare that is driver-partner income subject to revenue sharing under applicable rules. That distinction does not establish a universal revenue-share rate or net earnings figure. Gojek’s GoCar incentive page, dated 4 June 2026, describes a limited-validity new-driver offer with trip, active-day, acceptance, and completion thresholds. Count a bonus only after you have met the applicable requirements; do not treat a time-limited offer as guaranteed recurring income. Gojek also describes a vehicle-rental route for drivers without a car. Check the live Driver app and rental agreement for current terms.

Separate operating profit from tax and contribution calculations

Your records-based operating profit answers what the work earned after the costs you counted. Taxable income and statutory contribution calculations may use different rules, so do not substitute one calculation for another.

Singapore CPF example

Singapore’s Central Provident Fund Board states the platform-worker formula as: “Net earnings = Gross earnings minus Fixed Expense Deduction Amount”. Its page, last updated 27 May 2025, lists a 60% Fixed Expense Deduction Amount for cars, vans, lorries, and trucks. In the Board’s example, a private-hire car driver with $4,000 in gross earnings has $1,600 in net earnings under that CPF calculation. This is a Singapore statutory calculation; it does not establish that the driver’s actual expenses were $2,400 or that the work was profitable.

Singapore tax expenses

Singapore’s Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) says platform workers may claim allowable business expenses against income or use a prescribed percentage of gross income as a simplified deemed expense amount. IRAS says proper records must still be kept when using the simplified method. Its listed expense categories include rental or public transport costs, fuel or charging, repairs and maintenance, parking, service fees paid to operators, phone subscriptions, road tax, and commercial vehicle insurance. Check current IRAS guidance for your circumstances; tax methods and eligibility are not a substitute for tracking actual cash costs.

Decide against your own target

Compare the resulting net hourly return with the amount you need to earn for the time and vehicle commitment. If you have a minimum target, calculate the gap using the same period and cost method: gap to target = target hourly return − calculated net hourly return. A result below your target does not by itself explain why; use your time, distance, cost, and incentive records to identify whether the main constraint is unpaid waiting, pickup travel, vehicle expense, or an incentive condition that is difficult to meet.
