"The minimum IRS mileage rate drivers can use to deduct from income tax is $.70/mile for 2025 since that’s what the IRS calculated for the standard minimum cost of expenses and depreciation. The IRS does not consider you to be profitable or taxable if you’re making near or less than the rate which is a sign of misclassification or tax evasion fraud.

Gross minus Cost equals Taxable Net
Taxable Net minus Tax equals Profit

Since 70 cents per mile gross subtract 70 cents cost produces no profit according to the IRS, there is no tax which is why it is a red flag for tax evasion fraud or company misclassification to avoid paying wages, taxes, and benefits.

$1/mile minus $.70/mile is $.30/mile taxable net

Divide by time.

60 miles per hour is one minute per one mile– so that's thirty cents per minute, or $18 per hour.

30 miles per hour is two minutes per mile at 15 cents per minute or $9 per hour.

20 miles per hour is three minutes per mile at $.10 per minute or $6 per hour.

Evidently $1 per mile between 20 to 60 miles per hour equates between $6 to $18 per hour, respectively, pre income tax. 

The $7.25/h federal minimum wage is 12.08 cents per minute. Paying less than federal or local minimum wage and overtime is wage theft, and misclassification according to the Department of Labor, with financial and prison penalties. 

Drivers can visit the IRS website or refer to a 2025 federal tax bracket to estimate how much to pay quarterly based on earnings & costs, and don't forget about your state if it charges income tax.

Also subtract at least 7.65% of your net income going to self employment tax for social security & Medicare.

A lot of drivers are not aware of this, and while many drivers that claim $1/mile or less is acceptable– we can clearly see it's not. 

We can't reach all drivers to teach them, nor does everyone agree with the facts; and that's why we will have our own app with fair guarantees based on inflation and the standard IRS mileage rate to set the minimum bar for drivers who otherwise lower the pay for all drivers by accepting most or all of the low offers on the other apps."
