Offers in, fuel out, hours as the denominator

gross = batches x batchPay + tips. fuel = miles / MPG x gasPrice. net = gross - fuel. hourly = net / hours.

Default $26.08/hour after gas. DoorDash and Uber Eats use the same skeleton with different field names: DoorDash and Uber Eats.

EV drivers

Set MPG high and gas near 0, or treat kWh cost as gas price with miles/kWh in the MPG field. It is a hack; the fuel card is still “energy cost.”

Not a wage claim

This is not Instacart’s advertised hourly. It is your pasted offers minus fuel. Self-employment tax is a different page.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the default result?

Gross = 8 x $12 + $40 = $136. Fuel = 40 / 25 x $3.50 = $5.60. Net $130.40. Hourly $26.08 over 5 hours.

Where is Instacart’s commission?

Shopper offers are already net of whatever Instacart kept. Do not subtract another 20%. If you only have storefront markup, this is the wrong tool.

Should unpaid downtime go in hours?

Yes if you want a true hourly. Five hours including sitting in a parking lot is more honest than three hours of active shopping.

Instant Cashout?

Not subtracted. If Instacart charges a cashout fee, take it off net yourself or lower batch pay slightly.
