We are not going to quote you a monthly salary. Here is the structure of the money instead, so you can work out your own number and recognise a fake one.
New Chandigarh · no guaranteed figures · real commission formula · your numbers
Search "cab driver salary in New Chandigarh" and you will find confident monthly numbers from sites that have never met you, never seen your car and never driven your roads. A driver's income is the product of hours worked, area covered, vehicle running cost and how many rides the platform can actually send — four variables, none of which a listing page knows.
GediGoo deliberately leaves salary out of its job listings for this reason. Anyone quoting you a guaranteed monthly figure for driving work is either guessing or selling something.
Not hours away from home — hours available to take a ride. In New Chandigarh the difference between the two is where most optimistic estimates fall apart.
Fewer trips, longer distances, less competition. New Chandigarh rewards patience rather than volume.
Fuel or charging, servicing, tyres, insurance. This is yours whichever platform you drive for, and it is the number most estimates ignore entirely.
GediGoo takes 5% plus GST on that commission. A 25% platform takes five times as much from the same fare.
The only honest calculation is the one you do with your own inputs. Ours applies GediGoo's exact commission formula — the same arithmetic the backend runs when it closes a trip — and does not invent anything else:
| Step | How to get it |
|---|---|
| 1. Realistic rides per day | Count what you actually complete in New Chandigarh, not what a good day looks like. |
| 2. Your average fare | From your own history if you have it; a conservative guess if you do not. |
| 3. Days per week | Be honest about rest days and servicing days. |
| 4. Subtract running cost | Fuel or charging plus a monthly share of servicing, tyres and insurance. |
| 5. What is left | That is income. Everything above step 5 is turnover, and turnover is what misleading ads quote. |
Not to how many rides exist in New Chandigarh — we are a small operator and our volume is lower than the national apps'. Where we change the number is the deduction. On a ₹200 ride GediGoo's share is ₹10 commission plus ₹1 GST on that commission, so ₹189 reaches you. A platform charging 25% leaves you ₹150 on the same ride.
GediGoo charges 5% commission plus GST on that commission (as required by law) — that works out to about 95% of the fare reaching you, and we show the exact split on every ride in the app.
Ask whoever is quoting the figure three questions: how many hours, in which part of New Chandigarh, and does that number come before or after fuel? A real answer survives all three. Most advertised salaries do not survive the first.

There is no honest single figure, and GediGoo will not invent one. Income depends on hours online, the area you work in New Chandigarh, your running cost, and how many rides the platform sends. Use the earnings calculator with your own numbers instead.
Because drivers are independent partners rather than salaried staff, and no guaranteed figure would be true. Publishing one would also risk misleading pay information in a public job listing.
It varies with hours, area and vehicle. Fewer trips, longer distances, less competition. New Chandigarh rewards patience rather than volume. The one figure we can state exactly is the deduction: 5% plus GST on that commission.
Driver partners are not employees and there is no fixed salary. You collect fares; the platform deducts its share; the rest is yours, minus what the vehicle costs to run.
It can be, and the deciding factors are running cost and platform commission — the two things you can actually control. That is why CNG vehicles and a low commission matter more than headline fare rates.
5% of the fare plus GST on that commission. On a ₹200 ride that is ₹10 and ₹1, leaving you ₹189.
