Most driver apps show your gross fares. DriveMath shows what you actually KEEP — after gas, maintenance, and the depreciation every mile puts on your car. Start with a 7-day free trial. Log a shift in seconds and DriveMath does the math the platforms won't: • REAL PER-HOUR PAY — your net after true vehicle costs, not the inflated gross. • AN HONEST VERDICT — every shift: made money, below goal, or lost money. • TRUE COST PER MILE — from your real MPG and your car's upkeep + depreciation. • FULL HISTORY — week, month, and all-time earnings, plus platform comparison. • TAXES, HANDLED — what to set aside, standard-mileage vs actual-expense, a Schedule C–ready summary. • SWEET SPOT INSIGHTS — your best weekday, time block, and platform. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your fares, mileage, and expenses are yours — we never link your bank, sell your data, or run ad tracking. Everything stays on your device and syncs only through your own private iCloud. MEMBERSHIP DriveMath is a subscription with a 7-day free trial. After the trial it's $24.99/year (or $3.99/month). Cancel anytime before the trial ends and you won't be charged. DriveMath is an estimate tool, not tax or financial advice.
