In some cities, Uber drivers are required to take 20 percent of their fares as commission. In New York City, Uber drivers take 25 percent of their fares as commission. Drivers in San Francisco can take up to 30 percent as commission. However, drivers in cities where commission is prohibited are still able to keep their fares as full price. In those cities, drivers receive their fares minus 20 percent commission. This 20 percent is called "take rate". Take rate varies between cities and drivers can learn how much take rate is in their city by visiting their Uber app's Take Rate page. The percentage is applied after all surcharges are deducted from fares. The percentage also depends on whether you are driving during peak or off-peak hours. During peak hours, drivers receive more take rate than off-peak hours. In some cities, drivers receive 50 percent take rate during peak hours and 40 percent during off-peak hours.
