How do I calculate my real hourly pay as a gig worker?

Real hourly pay depends on which time you include: active batch time only, active plus wait, active plus commute, or the full logged work window.

Active hourly rate shows how well batches paid while you were working them. Overall hourly rate shows what the whole shift produced after waiting and commuting are included.

Both numbers matter. Active rate helps compare orders. Overall rate helps decide whether the shift was worth being out.

Use final pay, not just estimated pay, whenever you calculate earnings.

How GigLogging helps

GigLogging separates active batch time, waiting time, and commute time so you can compare active hourly rate with overall hourly rate.
