Reading the Earnings summary

What it is

Your tax year broken down by month, from April to March. In the app it is under More, then Earnings summary. Open a month to see what you earned, what you were left with, your business miles, hours, fuel and tax, and then the same month week by week.

The tax year runs from 6 April to 5 April, so April starts on the 6th and March runs to the 5th of April. Nothing inside the year falls outside all twelve months.

How the totals work

Money figures add up. Rates do not: they are recalculated from the added-up totals. Adding twelve £/hr figures gives nonsense, and averaging them gives something worse: a plausible number that is wrong, because a four-hour month would count as much as a forty-hour one.

So a month's £/hr is its earnings minus its costs, divided by its hours. It is never the mean of the shifts inside it.

Which platform pays

Pick a platform from the menu at the top of the Earnings tab and the summary follows it, so you can see which app is actually worth your evening. See which earnings.
