Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Amazon Flex pay per block?
Amazon Flex blocks typically pay $54-108 for 3-5 hour shifts, depending on your market, time of day, and demand. Base rates are $18-25/hour, but surge pricing during peak times (holidays, bad weather) can push blocks to $30-40/hour.
Is Amazon Flex worth it for your car?
It depends on your vehicle costs. At 40 miles per block and 25 MPG, you'll spend about $5.60 in gas per block at $3.50/gallon. Add maintenance wear ($0.05/mile = $2.00) and your real block pay drops by $7.60. Fuel-efficient vehicles make Flex significantly more profitable.
How many blocks can you do per week on Amazon Flex?
Most drivers can pick up 5-10 blocks per week, depending on availability in their market. Amazon limits drivers to 40 hours per week. Blocks are released at various times and go fast — many drivers use block-grabbing strategies to secure the best-paying shifts.
Do you get tips with Amazon Flex?
Tips depend on the delivery type. Amazon Fresh and Whole Foods deliveries include customer tips (averaging $5-15 per block). Standard Amazon.com package deliveries rarely include tips. Fresh/Whole Foods blocks are generally more profitable due to tips.
How to Use the Amazon Flex Earnings Calculator
Enter the number of delivery blocks you work per week, your average block pay, and the typical miles driven per block. Most Amazon Flex drivers complete 3-5 hour blocks paying $54-108, covering 30-50 miles of deliveries depending on the route type (logistics, Fresh, or Whole Foods).
Switch to Advanced mode to factor in tips, vehicle costs, and time per block. Fresh and Whole Foods blocks include customer tips averaging $5-15, while standard logistics blocks rarely have tips. Enter your gas price, vehicle MPG, and maintenance costs to see your true per-block and hourly earnings after all expenses.
The effective hourly rate is your most important number. Many Flex drivers see $18-25/hour gross but only $13-20/hour after gas and vehicle wear. Track your actual miles per block over several weeks to get an accurate picture — route complexity varies significantly between suburban logistics routes and dense urban Fresh deliveries.
Use the IRS mileage deduction estimate to plan for tax season. As an independent contractor, you can deduct $0.67 per business mile (2024 rate). At 200 miles per week, that's nearly $7,000/year in deductions. Keep a mileage log from when you start driving to the warehouse until your last delivery — apps like Stride or Everlance automate this.
