How it works

How the Truck Driver Pay Calculator Works

Percentage of revenue

Gross pay = load revenue × pay percentage.

Per car

Gross pay = number of cars × rate per car.

Per mile

Gross pay = paid miles × rate per mile.

Every result comes from the numbers you enter. The comparison table shows each completed pay basis with its formula and marks the highest gross amount. It does not recommend a pay basis.

Gross and adjusted

Gross Pay Versus the Adjusted Amount

Gross pay is the amount a pay basis produces before anything is added or taken away. If you enter additions or deductions, the calculator also shows an adjusted amount: gross pay plus additions minus deductions. The same adjustments apply to every pay basis so the comparison stays consistent.

Questions

Truck driver pay calculator FAQ

It depends on the pay basis in the driver's agreement. Percentage pay multiplies load revenue by the pay percentage. Per-car pay multiplies the number of cars by the rate per car. Per-mile pay multiplies paid miles by the rate per mile.
No. Fill in one, two, or all three. A pay basis you leave blank is skipped and is never treated as zero.
Only the rates you enter. TruckTA does not supply default, average, or industry pay rates.
Enter the miles the pay agreement actually pays. Some agreements pay loaded miles only and others pay all dispatched miles. The calculator does not assume either.
The adjusted amount is gross pay plus the additions you enter minus the deductions you enter. It appears only when you enter an adjustment. It is not net pay or take-home pay.
No. It does not estimate taxes, withholding, benefits, or any payroll item. It is not payroll, tax, or legal advice.
Each formula is calculated from the exact numbers entered and rounded once to the nearest cent, with half a cent rounded up.
No. The calculator runs in your browser. It does not save, send, or share the revenue, rates, miles, adjustments, or results you enter.
