For a long time, driving strangers from point A to point B paid terribly. Estimates of the typical cab driverâs salary hover around $30,000. According to Uber, the median wage for an UberX driver working at least 40 hours a week in New York City is $90,766 a year. In San Francisco, the median wage for an UberX driver working at least 40 hours a week is $74,191.
In San Francisco, Uber claims its uberX drivers can earn up to $70,000 a year. But it turns out Uber's data is based on a sample of uberX drivers who drive over 40 hours per week, according to The Washington Post.or example, one uberX driver in New Jersey who drove 12 hours in one day says he made $180 in gross fares. So that's $15 an hour. But accounting for tolls, Uber's 20% cut, gas, car insurance, vehicle financing, and self employment taxes, the driver really only made $54.50 for 12 hours of driving.
