Uber Driver Tax Calculator

Quickly estimate your Uber driver taxes with our free calculator.

Find out how much you owe based on rideshare income.

Lyft, Uber, and other rideshare professionals are usually considered self-employed by the IRS, which increases their tax responsibilities. Unlike traditional W-2 employment, where taxes are withheld for employees, self-employed drivers must handle these tasks themselves on a quarterly basis, as Uber does not do it for them. This includes paying the 15.3% self-employment tax that funds the federal programs Social Security and Medicare. Easily and efficiently calculate your self-employment tax burden (excluding state and federal income taxes) with this free self-employment tax calculator for professional Uber drivers from 1-800Accountant, America's leading virtual accounting firm.

When you earn $400 or more in net profit during the tax year, the IRS considers you self-employed, and you must pay self-employment tax that funds Social Security and Medicare. Income tax and other applicable taxes may also be due. Employers split these contributions with employees, but rideshare drivers and other self-employed individuals must pay both portions.
