TaskRabbit Tasker income.

TaskRabbit pays Taskers their hourly rate minus 15% service fee. Taskers set their own rates: 15-100/hour depending on skill (handyman, mover, IKEA assembly, cleaner). Most established Taskers earn 25-40/hour in major cities. Volume varies wildly - some Taskers do 5 tasks/week, others 25.

10 tasks/week × 2 hours each × 30/hour = 600 weekly gross. After 15% TaskRabbit fee: 510/week net. 26,520/year. Decent but limited by hours - effectively a part-time freelance gig. Top Taskers earn 50,000+/year by specializing in high-rate tasks (electrical work, plumbing).

Best categories: handyman (most demand), IKEA assembly (premium rate, repeat clients), moving help (high hourly when paired). Worst: cleaning (commoditised, low rate). Build 5-star ratings early (first 10 tasks crucial), get verified, take photos of completed work. Top Taskers booked weeks ahead at premium rates.

Run it with sensible defaults

Using tasks per week of 10, avg hours per task of 2, hourly rate of 30, taskrabbit fee of 15%, the calculation works out to 510.00. Nudge the inputs toward your own situation and the output recalculates instantly. The defaults are meant as a starting point, not a recommendation.

The levers in this calculation

The inputs — Tasks per Week, Avg Hours per Task, Hourly Rate, and TaskRabbit Fee % — do not pull with equal force. Not every input has equal weight. Flip one at a time toward extreme values to feel which ones move the needle most for your situation.

How the math works

Weekly hours = tasks × hours. Gross = hours × rate. Net = gross × (1 - fee). Annual = net × 52. The working is transparent — you can verify every step yourself in the formula section below. No black box, no opaque "proprietary model".

Using this in pay negotiations

Knowing the exact figure behind a headline rate gives you specific numbers to anchor to in conversations about pay. "The difference is £X per month after tax" lands harder than "a couple of grand a year". Concrete numbers move decisions.

What this doesn't capture

Tax bands, pension contributions, student-loan deductions, and benefits-in-kind sit outside this calculation. The figure is the headline; your actual position depends on local tax rules and personal circumstances. Pair with a dedicated take-home calculator for the full picture.
