Profit per mile calculator
Use the figures from a week or a month. Include all the distance you drove, even without a passenger or delivery.
Result
Enter your earnings and distance to see your profit per mile.
This is an estimate based on the figures you entered. Drivvo calculates it automatically from your records for any period you choose.
What tracking your finances means for ride-hailing drivers
It means recording what comes in, such as fares, deliveries, tips and bonuses, and what goes out, such as fuel, maintenance, vehicle hire, insurance and car washes.
What lands in your account isn't profit. Profit is what's left after costs. Divide it by the distance driven to get your profit per mile, the figure that tells you whether a week's work paid off.
How to track earnings and costs in Drivvo
Log them on your phone or computer, and the app does the maths.
Log your earnings
In Income, enter the amount, date and Type of income, such as Ride-hailing App. This can be per trip, per day or the total for the month.
Log your costs
Log refuelling, expenses such as rental and insurance, and maintenance. Each cost is assigned to that vehicle.
See what's left
In Reports, the General tab shows the Balance, Cost and Income for the period, per day and per mile. In History, each month has its own summary.
Profit per mile: how to calculate it
Add up your earnings for the period and subtract all vehicle costs. Divide the result by the distance driven in the same period. Use the total distance, including trips without a passenger, as they still use fuel and tyres.
In the app, the Balance on the General tab already does this calculation. Fuel from your last refuelling only counts after the next one, because it's still in the tank.
Income
How much you earn and spend per mile
In the reports, the per-mile value for Income is what you earn for each mile driven, and the value for Cost is what you spend. If earnings fall below costs, you're losing money, even if your account balance looks healthy.
Reports
Keep earnings from each app separate
In More > Types of income, create one type for each app, one for tips and another for bonuses. On the Income tab of the reports, the Income chart shows each one's share of the total, so you can see which app brings in the most.
Month by month on the costs and income chart
On the General tab, the Costs and income graph shows one bar for costs and another for earnings each month. Tap a bar to see that month's balance. This makes it easy to spot the good months and the quiet ones.
Shifts and freight in Routes
In Route, log where you started, where you arrived, the odometer reading and the time. The report shows the distance and time for each period.
If you carry freight, use the Haulage option: the Haulage value counts as income. The per-distance value of the Journey option is for reimbursement and doesn't count as earnings.
Car or motorbike, owned or rented
Log vehicle rental as an expense using a type you create. Each vehicle has its own reports: the Free plan allows up to 2 active vehicles, and on the Web the All option combines them.
App or spreadsheet
A spreadsheet needs formulas, a computer and the discipline to enter everything later. In the app, you log it on the spot, even offline, and the balance appears automatically. If you want the figures in a spreadsheet, you can export your records on the paid plans.

Frequently asked questions
What's the best app for ride-hailing drivers to track earnings and expenses?
Look for an app that brings earnings and costs together, shows your profit per mile, works offline and keeps vehicles separate. Drivvo does all of that on Android, iPhone and the Web.
How do I calculate profit per mile?
Add up your earnings, subtract all vehicle costs and divide by the distance driven over the same period. For example, with 1,000 in earnings, 400 in costs and a distance of 600, your profit is 1 per mile. In the app, Balance on the General tab does the maths.
How much does a ride-hailing driver earn per mile?
It depends on the city, the app, the time of day and the type of vehicle. The figure that matters is yours: in the reports, the income value per mile shows how much you earn for each mile driven.
How do I find my vehicle's cost per mile?
Add up all vehicle costs, not just fuel, and divide by the distance driven. In the app, the Cost value per mile calculates this from your records.
Does Drivvo import rides from other apps?
No. You enter your earnings in Drivvo, per journey, per day or as the total for the month.
Does Drivvo track distance using GPS?
Not at the moment. The distance comes from the odometer reading you enter when you fill up or log earnings or a cost.
Is Drivvo free for people who drive for work?
The Free plan includes unlimited fill-ups, expenses, services and reports, plus one income entry per vehicle per month, which can be the month's total. Paid plans unlock unlimited income entries and remove ads.
Spreadsheet or app: which is better?
A spreadsheet works if someone enters everything later. In the app, you log it on the spot and the balance appears automatically. Paid plans let you export your records to a spreadsheet.
Does it work for delivery riders, taxi drivers and haulage drivers?
Yes. The app supports cars, motorbikes and lorries. In Route, the Haulage option logs the amount earned from each haulage job as income.
Can I keep earnings from each app separate?
Yes. Create an income type for each app. The Income chart shows each app's share of the total.
How do I see how much profit I made this month?
In Reports, select the month in the period filter. The Balance shows what was left, and the Costs and income graph compares months.
