Miami
LOW · source quality below tier-2
STAYS LOW 2026-04-29 (Round H): Cleaned up earnings_url to point to BLS OES Miami metro instead of Glassdoor (which violated our domain blocklist). Florida's $14.00 min wage is a defensible floor; the previous Glassdoor "Uber Driver Miami $20/hr based on n=6,757 salaries" was self-reported aggregator data inappropriate for tier-1/2 confidence. To promote: would need Florida-specific gig-delivery legislation (none currently proposed) or a tier-1/2 published Miami delivery hourly rate.
Only HIGH-confidence cities carry a full verification audit. See the methodology for what each tier means.

With a 1BR apartment outside the city centre at $2105/mo, rent costs more than your monthly take-home (161% of monthly net).
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.
Cost of living vs. earnings
That works out to roughly 34 hours per week. Rent at $2,105 per month is 87 percent of gross monthly earnings, which puts a Miami delivery driver in HUD's “severely cost-burdened” band by the federal definition (over 30 percent of gross income on housing). Measured against net take-home pay, which is what a worker actually has available to spend, the same rent is 121 percent. Affordable rent at this earnings rate, defined by HUD as no more than 30 percent of gross income, would be around $730 per month. Across the 46 cities in the dataset, Miami ranks 19th for hours needed to cover rent, where lower is better.
Pay vs. local labour market
Gross hourly is 143% of local minimum wage, 62% of local median.
Notes
FL minimum wage rises annually toward $15 by 2026.
