what percentage of pay does uber take?
To start with, Uber and Lyft, and the city youâre driving in, always get a cut. For example, in New York, Uberâs biggest market, Uber takes a portion of every fare: Lyft takes 20 percent of each fare. From that fare, the city also takes a sales tax of 8.875 percent and the Black Car Fund takes a fee of 2.5 percent.
