How much do Uber drivers make in New Mexico?

My rent just went up substantially and I need to make a few extra bucks a month to feel comfortable. Uber has the flexibility I want, so it seems like a good fit. But how much do New Mexico-based Uber drivers make?

According to Salary.com, Uber drivers in New Mexico earn about $34,400 per year. However, this amount is the average across the state, and you will certainly earn a different amount in a more populated area than in a rural one.

Here are the median annual wages for Uber drivers in some of the biggest cities in New Mexico:

Albuquerque: $35,300
Santa Fe: $35,600
Las Cruces: $32,000
Rio Rancho: $35,100

Regardless of where you live, you can also increase your earnings as an Uber driver with a few of these tips:

Find the most affordable rideshare insurance.
Drive during peak times, such as during sporting events or when bars start to close.
Bring your meals with you so you’re not tempted to dine out.
Go the extra mile to get tips.
Use apps to save money on gas.
