Understanding Your Amazon Flex Numbers
- Unpaid time matters — Driving to the station, waiting for packages, and driving home is real time you're working but not being paid for. Always include it.
- IRS Rate ($0.67/mi) — Covers depreciation, maintenance, insurance, and fuel combined. This is also your maximum tax deduction per mile as a gig worker.
- Net per block hour vs. total time — The block hour rate looks better but ignores unpaid time. The total time rate is your real effective wage.
- Break-even block pay — The minimum Flex block pay you should accept before you lose money on the block after expenses.
True hourly income as an Amazon Flex driver after fuel, IRS wear & tear, unpaid time, tolls, and block pay.
