How much does a gig worker really earn? It’s complicated


Based on the earnings dashboard, one of the Zomato delivery partners earned a total of 19,756.94 in December 2025, completing 345 orders over 124 hours and 55 minutes of active delivery time. This works out to roughly 158 per hour during active deliveries. Weekly earnings, however, fluctuated sharply: the first week saw 5,614, the second 4,780, the third 5,598, before dropping to 1,893 during 22-28 December and 1,870 in the final days of the month. The average gross daily earning by week ranged from about 800 a day in the busiest weeks to under 300 during the slowdown, showing how income can vary even for a single worker, depending on order flow and incentives.
