Rideshare & Delivery

Tools for people who drive for Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, Instacart and the rest. The apps show what a trip pays; these show what it costs, what you keep, and what to put aside.

Start here

What the app shows, and what you keep

The same $12 offer, three ways. The pickup and the car are the difference.

The tools

Each works on its own, and they hand your numbers to each other.

Nothing about the platforms is built in

No pay rates, no commission percentages, no city rules. They differ from city to city and change without notice, so every figure comes from your own screen. That is what keeps these numbers honest.

Distances work in miles or kilometres, and fuel economy the way your dashboard shows it — US or UK miles per gallon, litres per 100 km, or kWh for an electric car. The tax tool is the one exception: it is for the United States, for 2026, and uses the federal rules this site has checked against the IRS.

What happens to what you type

Nothing you type is uploaded — the calculations run in your browser. If you tick “Remember my settings”, your units, currency, cost per mile and minimums are kept in this browser so Trip Check is ready next time. Trips and earnings are never kept. Untick the box and the settings are deleted.
