The Amazon Flex workbook: pay, car costs, fees and net per hour
These sheets are for anyone weighing Amazon Flex blocks who wants the hourly figure after the car has been paid for. They net out gross block pay against gas, mileage at the IRS rate, cash-out and card fees, and tax.
Open the first row before the others. It sets the baseline net per hour, and every comparison after it, against DoorDash, Spark and Amazon Hub, borrows that figure and its assumptions.
