An estimate for the 2026/27 tax year, based on the standard personal allowance and Class 4 National Insurance. It ignores student loan repayments, capital allowances, payments on account, other income and anything unusual about your circumstances. It is not tax advice — use it to plan, then talk to us before you act on it.

How It Works

What the calculator is doing.

It takes your gross fares, subtracts Uber’s service fee and your expenses to get your profit, then applies Income Tax and Class 4 National Insurance to that profit.

If you also have an employed salary, it accounts for the fact that your salary uses up the personal allowance first — which is why part-time drivers are often taxed on their driving profit from the very first pound.

It gives a solid ballpark for a typical driver using the standard personal allowance for 2026/27. It does not account for student loan repayments, capital allowances on a vehicle, payments on account, other sources of income, or anything unusual about your circumstances — all of which can move the number meaningfully.
