Every number is shown, so you can check it yourself.
Income
Days worked × trips per day × average fare gives your fares for the week. Commission is taken off your fares, and your tips and bonuses are added in full.
Costs
Fuel and servicing depend on how far you drive. Rental or instalment, insurance, permits, data and other costs are converted to a weekly amount so everything lines up.
Monthly figures
We multiply your weekly numbers by 52 and divide by 12, which is about 4.33 weeks per month.

Common questions
What is my real profit as a driver?
Your net profit is what is left after Yango’s commission and every cost of running the car. Many drivers look only at the fares they collect, which can look much bigger than what they keep.
What commission should I enter?
Use the rate shown in your Yango driver app. The 20% in the form is only an example and may not match your rate.
Which costs are easy to forget?
Tyres and servicing, insurance, permits and licences, phone data, car washes, parking and fines. They add up quickly, so add them all for an honest picture.
How do these results compare with figures I have seen quoted?
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.
Do I pay income tax on this?
If you are self-employed, your profit may be taxable. Speak to NamRA or a registered tax practitioner about your situation, and keep records of your income and costs.
How can I earn more from my car?
Look at your costs first, especially fuel and empty kilometres. You can also take trips to other towns and share the seats through PickUp Namibia.
