Mexico City
LOW · source quality below tier-2
LOW. earnings_url points to CONASAMI (the Mexican federal minimum-wage commission, gob.mx, tier-1), which supports the minimum wage exactly: 'el salario minimo general se incremente de 278.80 a 315.04 pesos diarios', so min_local 39.38 (= 315.04 / 8) is confirmed and this row's earlier 'treat 315.04 as unconfirmed' caveat is discharged. It does not publish courier pay, and the published earnings figure is a USD back-conversion at a legacy rate rather than a measurement (see earnings.basis.note). An aggregator citation this row once carried was dropped in Round H and its name is no longer published here. To promote: a Mexican platform-delivery survey (Fairwork Mexico publishes no hourly rates), or an STPS or CONASAMI publication breaking gig delivery out from general transport.
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.

CDMX courier pay shows wide variance, roughly MXN 3,000-9,000/month, with the best earners around MXN 20,000/month at 10+ hours a day. No cited source publishes an hourly rate; figures circulating from salary aggregators are not used here. Outside-of-centre rent estimated as 70% of city-centre pending Round D1.
