What the app pays you still has to cover your car costs. To find what is left, add up what you receive and subtract what you spend over the same workdays and km.
What goes into the calculation
Here, earnings means the total the app pays you. Start with that amount and subtract each car cost once. The result is what is left after the costs you included.
Fuel is included through consumption and price. Maintenance, insurance and other costs use the amount for the period. Even if you pay insurance on another day, set aside the share for the week you're counting.
The calculation, step by step
- Earnings: add up what the app pays you during the week.
- Car cost: add energy and the weekly share of fixed costs.
- Weekly result: subtract car cost from earnings.
- Monthly result: multiply the weekly result by 52 and divide by 12, keeping the same work pattern.
This monthly figure is an average. It doesn't mean every month has the same workdays or that you'll receive that amount.
An example
Imagine the app pays you €600.00 in a week. This is a fictional amount for the calculation, not an earnings forecast. You work five days, driving 200 km a day, including the drive to each pickup. You own the car and have no loan payments.
Use 6 L/100 km, fuel at €1.80 per litre and monthly costs of €40 for maintenance, €60 for insurance and €30 for other costs. All remaining cost fields are zero in this example.
You drive 5 × 200 = 1,000 km a week. Energy costs 6 ÷ 100 × 1.80 = €0.108000 per km, or €108.00 for the week. Fixed costs add up to 40 + 60 + 30 = €130.00 a month; the weekly share is 130 × 12 ÷ 52 = €30.00.
| Calculation | Per week | Per month |
|---|---|---|
| Example earnings | €600.00 | €2,600.00 |
| Energy, variable | €108.00 | €468.00 |
| Fixed costs | €30.00 | €130.00 |
| Total car cost | €138.00 | €598.00 |
| After car costs | €462.00 | €2,002.00 |
Example figures. The month uses the week times 52 divided by 12.
Cost per km is 138 ÷ 1,000 = €0.138000. The calculator shows €0.14/km, with €0.11 for energy and €0.03 for fixed costs. Weekly and monthly figures use unrounded values. Money is rounded to six decimal places, then to two.
What goals mean
Your per km goal is what you want to receive for each kilometre of the offer, including pickup and trip. Your hourly goal is what you want to receive per hour of the total time for both parts.
In Radr's earnings calculator, these goals compare the offer amount before car costs. They aren't what is left. Include your cost per km to see that difference. Choose goals using your own numbers; this calculation doesn't guarantee earnings.
Use your own numbers
Open Full cost per km to find your cost per km. Then choose “I know the cost” in the earnings calculator and copy the number. Don't add it to energy again under “Other costs”.
Use all your work km for the week. If distance, consumption or costs change, redo the maths before comparing the result.
