Automatic Uber and Bolt import
Fares, fees, cash trips and tips come straight from Uber Fleet and Bolt Fleet. No CSV downloads, no copy and paste, no shifted columns.
Driver pay for Uber & Bolt fleets
Minimum wage of 13.90 per hour from 1 Jan 2026 per § 1 MiLoV5 (German, official). General calculation method, not tax or legal advice.
Driver pay from Uber and Bolt data: how to get it right
Start with each driver's platform revenue on Uber and Bolt and subtract the platform fees: that is your company's revenue. Apply the agreed driver share or hourly wage, check the result against the German minimum wage times hours worked, then settle the cash the driver already collected and any tips.

Plus a cash balance of 535.00 that the driver hands over or that is offset. Your payroll provider calculates wage tax and social contributions.
The formula
Five steps from platform revenue to driver pay
Whether your drivers earn a share of revenue or an hourly wage, the order of the calculation never changes. Stick to it and you catch mistakes before your drivers do.
-
Combine platform revenue per driver
Export fares from Uber Fleet and Bolt Fleet for exactly the same period and assign every trip to the right driver. Driver changes in the same car and different weekly cut-offs on each platform cause most errors.
Uber + Bolt = platform revenue -
Subtract platform fees
Uber and Bolt keep a commission. Only what is left is the revenue your company actually works with. Take the fee from the platform report, not from an estimated percentage.
platform revenue − fees = company revenue -
Apply the pay model
With a revenue share, take the agreed percentage of company revenue. With an hourly wage, multiply timesheet hours by the agreed rate. The employment contract decides which applies.
share × company revenue · or · hours × rate -
Check against the minimum wage
Multiply recorded hours by the statutory Mindestlohn: EUR 13.90 gross per hour since 1 January 2026. If the driver share falls short, you owe a top-up. In the example above that is 37.60.
gross wage = max(pay, hours × 13.90) -
Settle cash and tips
Cash trips count towards platform revenue, but the driver already holds the money. In-app tips are paid out to you by the platform and belong to the driver. Keep both separate from the wage and settle them transparently.
tips − cash = balance
Spreadsheet vs. automated
Why spreadsheets break down at around six drivers
With two drivers a spreadsheet is quick. With twelve, you copy two CSV exports every week, hunt for cash trips and match timesheets sent over WhatsApp. Every row is a chance for a typo, and every typo ends up as an argument with a driver.
| Task | Spreadsheet | Automated |
|---|---|---|
| Uber and Bolt data | Download CSVs from two portals, fix columns, paste | Connect Uber Fleet and Bolt Fleet once, data flows in |
| Assigning trips | By hand, especially when drivers share a car | Every trip linked to the driver account |
| Cash | Pick out cash trips one by one, often missed | Cash collected shown per driver |
| Working time | Retype paper notes, photos or WhatsApp messages | Timesheets created automatically |
| Minimum wage check | A formula nobody dares to touch | Pay per driver checked against hours |
| Effort | Several hours a week | Review instead of retyping |
Minimum wage and record-keeping: the 2026 rules
- EUR 13.90 / 14.60
- Statutory minimum wage (Mindestlohn), gross per hour, from 1 January 2026; EUR 14.60 from 1 January 2027.
Source: § 1 MiLoV5
- 7 days · 2 years
- Record the start, end and duration of daily working time by the end of the seventh calendar day after the work, and keep the records for at least two years. This applies to the sectors in § 2a SchwarzArbG, which include passenger transport.
Sources: § 17 MiLoG · § 2a SchwarzArbG
- EUR 4,461 / 2,974
- The record-keeping duty only lapses above a steady regular monthly gross pay of EUR 4,461, or above EUR 2,974 if that pay was demonstrably made for the last twelve full months.

Checked on 16 October 2026 at gesetze-im-internet.de (official German federal law portal). In practice: without reliable timesheets you can neither prove minimum wage compliance nor meet the record-keeping duty.

FAQ
Questions about driver pay for Mietwagen fleets
How do I calculate a driver's pay from Uber and Bolt data?
Add up the driver's Uber and Bolt fares for the same period and subtract the platform fees. That gives your company's revenue. Apply the agreed pay model (revenue share or hourly wage), check the result against the minimum wage times hours worked, and finally settle cash and tips. This is a general method, not tax or legal advice.
How do I handle cash the driver collected on Uber or Bolt trips?
Cash trips are part of platform revenue, but the money is already with the driver. Show the cash total per driver separately and offset it against what you owe the driver, such as in-app tips. Ask your payroll provider how the offset is treated for wage tax.
What is the German minimum wage for drivers in 2026 and 2027?
The statutory minimum wage (Mindestlohn) is EUR 13.90 gross per hour from 1 January 2026 and EUR 14.60 gross per hour from 1 January 2027 (§ 1 MiLoV5). With a revenue share, check every pay period that pay divided by hours worked reaches this rate.
Which working hours do I have to record for my drivers?
Passenger transport is one of the sectors listed in § 2a SchwarzArbG (the German act against undeclared work). For these sectors, § 17 MiLoG requires employers to record the start, end and duration of daily working time by the end of the seventh calendar day after the work and to keep the records for at least two years. The MiLoDokV exemption only applies above a steady monthly gross pay of EUR 4,461, or EUR 2,974 if that amount was demonstrably paid for the last twelve full months.
Is there a template for driver pay statements?
We do not offer a downloadable spreadsheet template. The structure is on this page: platform revenue, platform fee, driver share or hourly wage, minimum wage check, cash and tips. A spreadsheet is fine for a few drivers. From about six drivers on, copying Uber and Bolt exports by hand costs hours every week and creates errors.
What does the software cost and how fast is setup?
From $5.99 per driver per month. Setup takes about 48 hours: upload vehicles and drivers, then connect Uber Fleet and Bolt Fleet. You can try it free for two days, no credit card required.
