The economics of transportation operations
Know what your driving business actually keeps
Gross fares are not profit. Destinomy turns your income, expenses, hours, and odometer readings into net profit, revenue per hour, and your true cost per mile — for rideshare and independent drivers working from a dedicated work vehicle.

Gross revenue is not what the work leaves you
You know what the platforms paid you. The harder question is: what did the work actually leave me after the costs required to earn it?
Fuel, tolls, insurance, maintenance, and financing arrive at different times and from different places. Destinomy combines them with your hours and operational mileage in one whole-operation view, so you can see your true cost per mile and what each hour and each mile really earned.
What you see
- Net profit
- Revenue minus the variable and fixed costs of the operation for the period.
- Revenue per hour
- What your online hours brought in, so you can see whether your time is paying.
- Cost per mile
- Fuel, tolls, maintenance, other variable costs and fixed costs, spread over your operational miles.
- Contribution per mile
- What each mile leaves after variable costs to help cover fixed costs.
- Break-even mileage
- The miles needed to cover fixed costs at your contribution per mile, once enough data is recorded.
Break-even mileage is calculated for the whole operation from contribution per mile and fixed costs.
Operating profit, not GPS mileage tracking
A tax mileage log answers a tax question. Destinomy answers an economic one: is the operation paying for itself?
- It does not continuously track your location.
- It does not produce a tax mileage log.
- It does not use Uber or Lyft platform miles as operational mileage.
- It derives operational mileage from the odometer readings you enter.
The IRS mileage rate is not your cost per mile
The IRS standard mileage rate is a tax figure. It is not a measurement of what your particular vehicle actually costs to operate. Your real cost depends on your vehicle, financing, insurance, maintenance, and how many miles you drive — which is why Destinomy calculates it from your own records.

Built for drivers whose vehicle is a work vehicle
Destinomy is for independent drivers operating one dedicated or nearly dedicated work vehicle — rideshare, private-hire, courier, and similar driving businesses.
The current mileage model assumes every mile between two odometer readings belongs to the operation. If you drive the vehicle personally during the same period, those miles are included in the calculations.
How it works
- 1
Add your work vehicle.
Enter its name, fuel type, and in-service date.
- 2
Add odometer readings.
Two readings are enough to calculate operational mileage between them.
- 3
Record income, hours, and expenses.
Enter income by week or month and add expenses manually or from supported statement imports.
- 4

Net profit, revenue per hour, cost per mile, contribution per mile, and break-even mileage.
Questions
How much does it really cost to be a rideshare driver?+
It depends on your vehicle, financing, insurance, maintenance, mileage, and market. Fuel is only part of it: fixed costs like insurance and loan payments run whether you drive or not, and unpaid miles cost the same as paid ones. Destinomy calculates your cost per mile from your own recorded costs and odometer readings.
Is driving for Uber or Lyft worth it?+
There is no universal answer. It depends on what you earn, what your vehicle costs to run, how many of your miles are paid, and how many hours it takes. Destinomy measures those inputs from your own operation so you can answer it for yourself.
How does Destinomy calculate cost per mile?+
It adds the variable costs you record (fuel, tolls, maintenance and other operating costs) to fixed costs such as insurance and financing, then divides by operational miles from your odometer readings. It needs at least two readings; until then the dashboard tells you what is still missing instead of showing a zero.
Should I measure profitability per mile or per hour?+
Both. Per mile shows whether the vehicle is paying for itself; per hour shows whether your time is. A period can look good on one and weak on the other, so Destinomy shows revenue per hour alongside cost and contribution per mile.
Is Destinomy a tax tool?+
No. Destinomy measures operating performance. It does not create a tax mileage log, prepare returns, or provide tax advice.
Is Destinomy a mileage tracker?+
No. It does not track your location or run GPS in the background. Operational mileage comes from the odometer readings you enter, and every mile between two readings counts toward the operation. Mileage reported by driving platforms is never used as the mileage figure.
Does Destinomy connect to Uber or Lyft?+
No. Destinomy does not link to Uber, Lyft, or any other platform account. You enter operating income yourself and can review supported bank, card, or toll statements before importing expenses.
Who is Destinomy for?+
Independent drivers whose vehicle is primarily a work vehicle: rideshare, private-hire, courier, and similar driving businesses. If you also use the vehicle personally between odometer readings, those miles are included in the calculation.
What does Destinomy cost?+
It's free while in beta. No card is required.
Is there an Android app?+
Android beta is coming to Google Play.
Built by a driver from his own operating data.
