Why TrueGigWage exists

Gig apps are good at showing you what a shift looks like it pays. They're a lot quieter about what's left after gas, wear on your car, and the taxes you'll owe next spring.

TrueGigWage is a simple, free tool built to close that gap. Enter what you earned, how long you worked, and how far you drove — and see your real hourly rate in seconds. No sign-up, no app to download, no data saved about you.

The goal is small and specific: help gig workers make a clearer, faster decision about whether a shift, a platform, or this whole way of working is actually worth it for them.

This site is independently run and not affiliated with DoorDash, Uber, Instacart, or any other platform it references.
