Junk Removal & Moving Help Gig Calculator: Net Pay for 2026
Calculate net earnings per job and weekly/monthly projections for gig movers and haulers on apps like Dolly, GoShare, and Lugg, after platform fees, vehicle costs, and helper splits.
How Junk Removal & Moving Help Gig Earnings Are Calculated
Weekly gross is the average per-job payout multiplied by jobs per week. Platform fees (where applicable) are deducted, then vehicle/gas costs are subtracted, and remaining net is split with a helper partner if one is used.
Dolly and TaskRabbit-style helper pay typically passes through the full posted job rate plus 100% of tips with no platform commission deducted, so a 0% platform fee is accurate for that model. GoShare and similar load-board apps take an undisclosed percentage commission from the project fee before paying the driver/hauler, so model a nonzero platform fee for that structure. Adjust the platform fee field to 0% if you're paid the full posted rate (Dolly-style) or to your actual commission rate if the app deducts a cut (GoShare-style).

Real-World Scenario Example
"A gig mover running their own pickup truck completes 8 jobs per week averaging $120 per job, paying 15% in platform commission, spending $18 in gas per job, and splitting 50/50 with a helper partner on every job."
Inputs
Result
Weekly gross of $960 drops to about $816 after the 15% platform fee, then to about $672 after $144 in weekly gas costs, leaving roughly $336 as your take-home after the 50% partner split — about $42 per job, or around $1,460/month.
