How it works
Pay per hour is the pay per mile times the miles covered in one hour. Miles per hour come from your average speed, so include the stops, traffic and slow stretches you expect on the route.
Speed can be entered in miles or kilometres per hour. It is converted to miles before the pay is worked out.
Worked example
At $0.65 per mile and an average of 50 mph, you cover 50 miles in an hour and earn $32.50 per hour.
Questions
Does this include fuel and other costs?
No. It shows the pay rate only. Fuel, tolls and unpaid waiting change what you keep, and this does not count them.
Should I use the posted speed limit?
Better to use your real average. The average is lower than the posted limit once traffic, stops and turns are counted.
Why does speed change the hourly figure so much?
The pay per mile is fixed, so each extra mile per hour adds the same amount. Covering more miles in the same hour adds pay quickly.
