How much does an Uber driver make in New York?
I’d always thought that I’d like to drive a cab in New York. But lately, I’ve been thinking that I’d make more money as an Uber driver. To make my decision, I need to know just how much Uber drivers make in New York.

According to Zip Recruiter, the average annual salary for a full-time Uber driver in
New York
is $31,505. This works out to around $15 an hour.Keep in mind: While that’s above minimum wage and close to the national average for Uber drivers, it’s not really enough to make it with the high
cost of living in New York
. Plus, you’ll have to consider what it’s like to work for a rideshare company—you’ll spend more on gas, maintaining your car, and paying for extra car insurance
. In comparison, New York taxi drivers typically earn an average of $45,237 a year.
Though it depends on your living situation, driving for Uber or Lyft is often better for supplemental income to another job than a primary source of income, especially somewhere like New York.
