Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate DoorDash earnings after expenses?
Enter gross pay, total miles, all hours, gas price, and vehicle assumptions. The calculator subtracts a mileage-cost proxy and self-employment tax so the output is closer to take-home pay than app gross.
Should I use active time or dash time?
Use dash time or all online time when judging hourly pay. Active time is useful for platform checks, but unpaid waiting and repositioning decide whether the shift was worth it.
Why does the calculator use miles?
Miles are the main hidden cost. Two DoorDash shifts with the same gross pay can have very different net pay if one burns twice the miles.
