They add up quickly, so add them all for an honest picture.<\/p><\/details>\n        <details><summary>How do these results compare with figures I have seen quoted?<\/summary><p>Yango has said that drivers on its economy tariff in Windhoek earn an average of about N$15 470 a month after commission, after correcting an earlier statement that said per week. That figure does not say whether fuel and car costs were deducted, so use your own numbers here.<\/p><\/details>\n        <details><summary>Do I pay income tax on this?<\/summary><p>If you are self-employed, your profit may be taxable.
