Understanding BG (Business Guarantee) and incentive structure of Uber and other cab Aggregators





Lets explain this by taking a simple example
Image Source
16th June 2016: Actual trip amount ₹1919.46
                            Earning on the day : ₹4151.18

The Incentive Plans were as follows : 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
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 plans above, 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.

>> Let say from my total 1919.46 I have collected 1000 as cash (collected and kept) and rest 919.46 as Paytm or other online payments. So total amount that will be credited to my account will be 4151.18 - 1000 = 3151.18.

  1. I am surprised by the amount uber is paying. It makes me think how uber is earning and making profit. Can you explain me how uber is making profit. Because such a business model seems to be fraud sometimes.

    1. Other than these incentives are there any other payment given to the driver.

  3. I will rather say, Uber runs on Business Guarantee and not incentives. What ever cash you collect from riders you keep them. Uber pays you toll fees what so ever. You become part of Uber club to avail insurance beside other benefits.

    3. Which car U Telling about

  4. I think calculation have problems or they are making fool, because how come they deduct two times the 24.524% ( 1st they deducted and bring down your actual fare amount and later they again deducted 24.524% from the final payable amount. This is a pure case of double taxation. If some one here is CA or accounts expert then please throw some knowledge on my raised query, Thanks in advance

    1. You have mis understood 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. 4528for 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.

    2. So does that mean for the example cited above, my net earnings would be Rs 4151 + Rs 1448 = Rs 5599

      Delete
    3. No, you get 4151 only. That's how business guarantee works.

    4. Still it is wrong to deduct 24% two times, no matter it is actually deducted 1 time, but for calculations they deducted two times which brings down your earning calculation by two times, it is not fair from any mathematical calculation point of view. I hope educated people or maths expert must intervene in this matter. They are making fool by deducting two times, because most of drivers/ partners are not very well educated in this business, its all about calculation game its game of mathematics. maths experts can understand my point very clearly.

  5. Hey,

    Is there any specific list of cars that I can attach in Uber or
    is it that (any brand new car/well-maintained used car) can be attached in uber?

    For example, can I attach my brand new RENAULT KWID in UBER or OLA ?

    Thank you.

  6. Hi There,
    The car (to be attached to Uber)can be of any make and model in good condition, manufactured in 2008 or later. Remember riders will be rating their experience on a trip with you - so keep it classy!

  7. hi
    I doubt the above BG plan still works in New Delhi as there exist too many drivers and hardly get 5 to 6 trips in a 12 hours cycle. I did a short survey with drivers on road in New Delhi in August 2016.

  8. When do Uber send the pay statements? I mean on which day of the week? Another question is how do we change the password for the http://Uber.partners.com portal and how do we update our email address? Thanks

    1. Uber sends payment every Thursday but it updated in the partner portal every Tuesday (2 days prior to actual payment)

  9. Reducing dead miles and ensuring every day you earn more you billed is way to profit. With billing rates of UberX and UberGo very low, there is not money on billed income.

  13. Hi,

    My driver has earned 1907 after the 25% deduction for the Uber fees,etc. But still i see the BG as 400, and the very next day it was 1880, still the BG was 4000. I dont see the point when the driver makes up for 1440 he again got BG as 4000. What is this trick, i dont see any point how this BG comes same for all the earnings. Who is going to answer this and if i raise a complaint will i be paid as per the BG provided.

    1. Your actual earning should be 75.69 % of 6000.

  15. can you please throw some light on Acceptance rate. If the acceptance rate is less than 85% will we still get the incentive

    ReplyDelete
  16. As per terms and conditions of Uber, which clearly states that you should have acceptance ratio of 85 % or more to receive incentives. So why take chance.
    Before you come online make sure that you actually going to/ want to drive. You don't have to worry about acceptance ratio if you follow this one thing.

  26. Hi Nihar,

    Could you please let us know how does the latest hourly incentive plan of Uber (launched in Jan 2017) work?

    Do we get to keep the 75% fare and hourly incentive, OR only the incentive (with fare kept by Uber)? If we only get incentive, what is the differentiator between UberGo, UberX and UberXL for example? Do they all get paid the same?
