Gig Order Profit Calculator: AI Prompt for Delivery and Shopping Drivers
Most gig workers accept orders by gut feeling and lose money without knowing.
This tool fixes that.
Every gig order has hidden costs the apps never show you. That $18.50 batch might be paying you $8/hour once deadhead miles, return-to-zone driving, fuel, and wear and tear are counted.
WHAT YOU GET
A precision AI prompt for ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. A two-minute setup calibrates it to your vehicle, your local gas price, your home zone, and your personal floor. Every order then comes back as two numbers: CURRENT RATE, what it really pays per hour and per mile, and REQUIRED PAY, what it would need to pay to clear your floor. The gap between them is the decision.
WHAT IT COUNTS
Deadhead miles, fuel from your actual MPG, real wear for your exact vehicle (with the IRS mileage rate reported separately for taxes), return-to-zone driving, shop time, and multi-store or courier runs.
WORKS WITH
Instacart, Shipt, DoorDash, Uber Eats, Amazon Flex, Spark, Roadie, GrubHub, and more.
