How much taxi driver earn?, Everybody before start preparing for test think about this. Today we are going to talk about Taxi driver income. Their are two ways first if you are self employed, second if you work for a taxi base.
We will talk about self employed taxi drivers first.
Driver’s income depends on many factors like the county they operate, time of the day or night , how many hours they work in a week. I am taxi driver in Ireland myself. I work just part time and earn handsome amount of income. Typically in the industry they say, we earn 20 to 50 euro per hour after all expenses. I have few friends who do taxi in Dublin City and Cork City. Dublin friend earn around 2000 to 2500 per week if he work around 50 hours a week, and cork friend earns around 1500-2000 for similar hours. Other counties are not as busy as Dublin and Cork cities but taxi drivers still earns handsome income like in Waterford city around 1000 euro for 40 hours and in Port Laois around 800 for same hours.
If you work for a taxi base, they give you the Car and insurance to do jobs they give you and you get paid around 60 percent of the income you made rest around 40 percent goes to the base.
