LOW · source quality below tier-2
STAYS LOW 2026-04-29 (Round H): Cleaned up earnings_url to point to MA general minimum wage page. The MA AG settlement applies to RIDESHARE only, Uber's own policy explicitly excludes delivery from active-time calculation. Previous published rationale incorrectly suggested the $34.48 settlement floor applied to delivery; corrected. To promote to MEDIUM/HIGH: would need a Massachusetts-specific delivery hourly rate from a tier-1 (gov) or tier-2 (Fairwork, named union) source. None currently exists for food delivery.
Only HIGH-confidence cities carry a full verification audit. See the methodology for what each tier means.

Take-home is gross hourly minus an estimated tax/expense rate per country. See the methodology page for the derivation. This widget assumes you actually work the hours you set. For app-based delivery, a portion of logged-in time is unpaid waiting; the headline rate reflects engaged time only where regulators have defined it.
