FAQs

Uber has stopped the trip incentive plan, how does the business guarantee works? Please provide one example in numbers.





Let me give you the example of my driver just the previous week, Let me clear the numbers here :

Incentive Plan: a) Get Rs. 8400 BG for Rs. 2360 earnings b) Get Rs. 6800 BG for Rs. 1980 earnings c) Get Rs. 6000 BG for Rs. 1750 earnings d) Get Rs. 5500 BG for Rs. 1440 earnings e) Get Rs. 3800 BG for Rs. 1220 earnings f) Get Rs. 2500 BG for Rs. 840 earnings g) Get Rs. 1200 BG for Rs. 460 earnings

Earning = Fare - (UBER fee + Service Tax)

Actual trip amount is the total fare my driver collected from the riders.
Earning on the day is the total amount I got that day after deducting 20% UBER fee and 5% Karnataka Govt. service tax.

Looking for detailed breakdown? Refer the explanation in the 16th July earning. You will get the idea.

13th June: Actual trip amount ₹1456.01
                   Earning on the day : 
₹3,293.21



13th June | Monday

14th June: Actual trip amount ₹1878.72
                   Earning on the day : 
₹4213.05


14th June | Tuesday


15th June: Actual trip amount ₹2241.68
                   Earning on the day : 
₹4668.94


15th June | Wednesday

16th June: Actual trip amount ₹1919.46
                   Earning on the day : 
₹4151.18


Detailed Break down :
>> My driver took 10 trips that day and collected ₹1919.46 from the riders.
>> So UBER will take approx. 24.524% for itself and for service tax.
>>Which means my actual earning was  (₹1919.46 - 24.524%) = 1448.73 
>> Now if you refer the Incentive plan at the beginning of the post, I qualify for "Get Rs. 5500 BG for Rs. 1440 earnings"
>> So I should get at least ₹5500.00 irrespective of how many trips my driver took or how much amount my driver collect surplus to 1440 that day.
>> Now deduct approx 24.524% from the 5500, So the amount would be 4151.18 which you see in here as my actual earning that day.
                 

16th June | Thursday

17th June: Actual trip amount ₹1988.46
                   Earning on the day : 
₹4223.87


17th June | Friday

18th June: Actual trip amount ₹1978.13
                   Earning on the day : 
₹4139.96

18th June | Saturday

19th June: Actual trip amount ₹2349.63
                   Earning on the day : 
₹4635.78


19th June | Sunday

  4. Hi,

    The calculations are not tallying. In the detailed example, you calculated earning based on actual trip amount and arrived at slab. Then , actual earning that day = 5500 - 24.524%. For this particular calc, 4151.18 is correct. But where is the actual earning was (₹1919.46 - 24.524%) = ₹1448.73 . This has to be added to 4151.18 .. rihgt(thats what you mentioned above) . but thats not added.

    Alos, when I checked the slabs(all frm this blog page) and your other days examples, never any amount tallied to yours. Can you please recheck and let us know.

  5. You have misunderstood the term "Business Guarantee".... BG means the amount of business which is guaranteed by UBER so from that amount they will deduct 24.524%(20%commission and 5%tax). However, commission and tax obviously will be deducted from actual amount of business.

    To simplify, as per the above example,
    The Incentive Plans were as follows(after deducting 24.5% from BG amount) :
    a) Get Rs. 6340 for Rs. 2360 earnings
    b) Get Rs. 5132 for Rs. 1980 earnings
    c) Get Rs. 4528 for Rs. 1750 earnings
    d) Get Rs. 4151 for Rs. 1440 earnings
    e) Get Rs. 2868 for Rs. 1220 earnings
    f) Get Rs. 1887 for Rs. 840 earnings
    g) Get Rs. 905.7 for Rs. 460 earnings.

  6. What if there is new taxi company like ola or uber,which pays driver 90% of the whole bill and they takes 10%. So the drivers should work in this type of company. For example the driver takes 1100 in whole day so the driver gets 990 and that company earns 110. So driver works on this type of company. Plss comment.....

    ReplyDelete
  7. SO the fare amount are just for calculation purpose
    i.e. 1919.46 - 24.524% = 1448.73 for calculation of BG applicable.

    The actual income of the Driver is only 5500 - 24.524% = 4151.18

    and any cash amount collected from the customer by driver will be deducted.
    That means the payment to driver will be as follows:

    Cash collected from Customer - 1448.73
    BG to be paid by Uber = 4151.18 - 1448.73 = 2702.45

    Kindly correct me if i am wrong

  9. Hi Nihar

    Do you have to commit on the slab when you register with Uber as a driver?

    Also, if you do not reach the daily slab do they have a penalty clause?

    Best Regards

  10. No you won't be facing any penalty or anything of that sort.. With Uber You are your own Boss..

  20. Hi Nihar.

    The explanation you provided here is absolutley commendable. But still i am not sure whether to get a cab attached to Uber.


    I am from Delhi and i wish to get a cab attached to uber, which will be run by a driver.

    So, its best to get the advice about it from the person already working with that pattern.

    I wish to know about it whether i should go with the attachment of the cab or not. As reading about it online is actually confusing me so much.

    1 simple question what minimum amount i can expect per day from my cab on a very bad day. (You can answer this, as u might have faced this atleast once)


    Thanks in advance.

    ReplyDelete
  21. I can answer that only when you can explain what a 'bad day' means to you. Like some one drives for 2-3 hours in a day due to some personal problem or someone who is online for the whole time and still fails to reach the target.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I meant that the driver remain online the whole time and still fails meet the even the minimum target.

    ReplyDelete
  23. It never happens that driver remained online for 12 hours and he didn't even get enough rides to hit the min. BG. I will say on a very bad day when there is less demand you can at-least hit 840 earning target.

  35. Hi Nihar ! I'm planning to buy two new cars and choose to ride one car myself and will hire a driver for another for Uber in kolkata city. I'll start from November 2017. I'm a little nervous with the return on my investment. Say both of my cars runs for 10-12 hours for 25 days in a month. Is it profitable as uber business policy might change in future as many four wheelers are getting registered every month, so there might be a probability uber will increase the number of trips in future with no good return. What do you suggest as I'm even willing to invest more money in Uber business buying 1 or 2 more cars in future. Is it feasible in the long run? What points do I've to keep in mind ? Thanks

  36. Hi Nihar,

    This is Raj. Your blog is very useful for those who want to partner with cab aggregators. Now i have a question. I am from Chennai. I want to buy a pre-owned hatchback and partner with Uber/Ola as a driver-cum-owner. Is it still advisable to join hands with the cab aggregators in Chennai especially while considering the protests staged by the drivers back in March.? Also please provide the link for the latest income plan of Uber and Ola.

    Thanks in advance.
