Amazon Flex Earnings Calculator
Block pay looks clean because it is a flat number. The catch is the miles you cover inside the block and the wear on your vehicle.

Assumptions this calculator makes

- Vehicle cost uses your per-mile gas and maintenance times miles.
- The tax reserve is a rough planning number.
This is an estimate, not advice
Every result here is a rough model based only on the numbers you enter. Sidequity is an informational tool and does not provide professional, tax, legal, investment, or financial advice, and it makes no income guarantees. Any tax set-aside is a planning placeholder, not a tax calculation.
For decisions that affect your money, taxes, or business, review your situation with a qualified professional. See our full disclaimer.
How to use it
- Use a typical block, not your best route.
- Estimate miles per block from past deliveries.
- Compare net hourly to other gig options.
What this number means
A long, high-mileage block can pay less per hour than a short one.
Net hourly, not block pay, is what to compare.
Common mistakes
- Judging blocks by flat pay, not by hours and miles.
- Ignoring maintenance on high-mileage routes.
- Accepting blocks far from home without counting the drive there.
- Forgetting unpaid waiting at the warehouse.
Frequently asked questions
Is this affiliated with Amazon?
No. It is independent. Enter your own block pay and miles.
Why do miles matter on flat block pay?
Because more miles mean more fuel and wear, which lowers the net pay from the same block.
Should I count drive time to the station?
If it is significant, add it to your hours so the hourly rate reflects the full commitment.
Does this include taxes?
Only a rough reserve. Flex income is self-employment income, so confirm with a tax professional.
