Uber Eats delivery driver revealed exactly how much he earned in a month as a side hustle

A man working as a delivery driver for Uber Eats has shown exactly how much he earned in his first month on the job and how much work it took him to make his money.

Rather than making it his main job, he explained that it'd be a side hustle and he was 'doing this on top of my nine to five', so it seems like the bloke really was spending a lot of his day working.

As for how much money he made from his first month, he laid out all the details about his new work as a delivery driver.

He said his first week was 'still the most I've earned in a single week' so he was looking at beating it at some point.

Crunching the numbers

Week one

During the first week of the month, his app recorded that he'd clocked in 30 hours and three minutes of 'riding time', made 135 trips across the seven days and pocketed £614.75.

Week two

Week two saw him earning a much smaller amount of money since he only worked the Monday and Tuesday of that week rather than all seven days as he had done the first time around.

In these two evenings, he racked up a riding time of four hours and 45 minutes, completing 22 trips and being paid £87.63 for his efforts.

Week three

Popping off on holiday for a week, he made it back in time to complete five shifts during his third week for Uber Eats, where he completed 105 trips and spent 26 hours and 29 minutes riding around.

For this effort, he made £515.98, while in week number four, he made 116 trips, spent 27 hours and 57 minutes on the road and across seven shifts made £564.14.

Final shifts

In the final two days of September, he was on the road for seven hours and 11 minutes, made 31 trips and raked in £132.97 in revenue from his delivery driver work.

Totting it all up, he worked evenings and weekends for Uber Eats for 23 days of the month, logged in 96 hours and 25 minutes of riding time, made 409 trips and finished the month with total earnings of £1,915.47.

He said: "So I do actually think this is pretty good considering I only worked 23 days out of the 30, so this is an average of about £83 a day.

"I could have made just under £2.5k if I actually worked every single day, so I'm definitely happy with that considering I'm also working nine to five."

That's not what he gets to stick in his bank account at the end of the month, however, as he said there were expenses including £130 a month for insurance, around £160 a month for fuel, and £17 a month road tax, leaving him with £1608.47 before tax.

All in all, he reckons he's done pretty well for his first month.
