Using Grab online calculator, driving 6 days per week from 7 am to 7 pm , weekly earning is $1877, monthly 7.5K. Is this realistic ?

You need to bare in mind, that 7-7 driving, you need to deduct meals and rest, which will eat up 1 hour a day. Likely drive 11hrs (x $26/hr).

Gross income likely $1,716 based on your formula. If each day's operating expenses is $100-$110, real take home income is about $1,016 a week. Likely income is $4.4k/mth based on such calculation.

Well, $4.4k nett is ok since you will get to have a car to use during non driving hours. If you own a car, it will cost about $1.5k/mth.

See who is more hungry.
Last time some taxi drivers, Jurong or Tuas too far empty vehicle return, Changi airport go Bedok Simei Tampines, Mt Vernon columbarium, eg, don't want to take passengers. But of course I have also met good ones.

A pinoy CSO fr Uber called me this afternoon. Asked whether i own a car and then proceeded to tell me based on their calculation, I will earn 7K plus per month.

I told her if really that good, Uber has no need for you to sit in office to look for driver.
So stop giving people unrealistic hope and i hung up.

Knew she was just doing her job but really Damn pissed off.

I see a lot of promoters now at MRT station asking Sir do you drive? Do you have a driving license? Do you want to sign up as a driver?
