Pay methods in this calculator
- % of gross: rate × gross of the driver’s loads.
- % of gross less fuel: rate × (gross − broker fees − fuel). Common for car haulers because fuel is a big, variable cost.
- Per mile: rate × miles.
- Per car: rate × cars delivered.
Then additions (detention, layover, bonuses, reimbursements) are added and cash advances and deductions (log book fee, escrow, insurance, tickets) are taken off. Read the full guide: how to pay car hauler drivers.
Note: this calculator shows gross settlement pay. Tax withholding for W-2 employees is handled by your payroll provider; 1099 contractors handle their own taxes.
