How this calculator works
Enter your total income for the week along with hours worked and kilometres driven. We estimate fuel cost from your vehicle's L/100 km rating and the local gas price, add a per-kilometre provision for maintenance and wear (tires, oil changes, depreciation), then add parking, tolls and any other costs. Subtracting total expenses from income gives your profit, which we also express per hour and per kilometre so you can compare weeks, platforms, or vehicles fairly.
Example
Example
You earn $650 in a week, working 30 hours and driving 450 km, in a car using 9 L/100 km at $1.55/L, with a $0.06/km maintenance provision and no parking or tolls. Fuel costs about $62.80, maintenance about $27 — total expenses near $90. Your estimated profit is about $560 before tax, or roughly $18.70/hour and $1.24/km.
What your result means
What your result means
If your cost per kilometre is climbing (older vehicle, rising gas prices, more downtown driving with tolls and parking), your real profit per hour can fall even when your weekly income looks steady. Track this over a few weeks to spot the trend, not just one snapshot.
The Canadian context
The Canadian context
Gas prices and insurance costs for commercial or ride-share use vary significantly by province and city. If you drive for deliveries regularly, check with your insurer whether your policy covers commercial use — a personal policy alone may not.
Frequently asked questions
What maintenance provision per km should I use?
There's no single official number — many drivers use somewhere between $0.05 and $0.10 per km to cover tires, oil changes, brakes and depreciation, adjusted for your specific vehicle's age and reliability. Enter your best estimate.
Does this include income tax or CPP/QPP contributions for self-employed drivers?
No. Self-employed delivery drivers in Canada typically owe income tax and CPP/QPP contributions on this profit, which this tool doesn't calculate — the result shown is before tax and before those contributions.
Can I use this for a full month instead of a week?
Yes — just enter your monthly income, hours and kilometres instead of weekly ones; the per-hour and per-km results will still be accurate, only the totals will represent a month.
