Earnings,
end to end.

How fares split between you and OZ Ride, plus a calculator so you can model your weekly take-home before you sign up.

Worked example

A $50 fare, split

For a $50 fare with a $1.50 booking fee (effective 1 May 2026):

Base + distance + time$50.00
Booking Fee (Rider pays)$1.50
Total Fare paid by Rider$51.50
Platform Fee (14% of $50)− $7.00
Booking Fee retained by OZ Ride− $1.50
Driver Earnings$43.00

Trips quoted before 1 May 2026 settle at the previous rate. The system snapshots the rate to the trip at quote time. See Payment Terms clauses 2.3 and 3.4.

Indicative only. Actual earnings depend on traffic, demand, vehicle category, and trip mix. Income tax, vehicle costs, and insurance are your responsibility as an independent contractor. See Payment Terms.

Caveats

What's not in the calculator

  • Fuel and vehicle running costs. As an independent contractor, vehicle expenses are yours. Track them: most are tax-deductible against your income.
  • Insurance. CTP plus comprehensive with a commercial passenger transport endorsement. Premiums vary substantially by vehicle and history.
  • Tax. The headline number is gross. Plan for income tax and (if registered) GST.
  • Cancellation Fees and tips. The schedule is in the Payment Terms. Worked into the calculator? No — too variable to model honestly.
  • PTSS Subsidies. If you do taxi work, PTSS subsidies are a 0% pass-through to your wallet. The calculator assumes rideshare.
