How TrueRide calculates

The formulas

  • total time = minutes to pickup + trip minutes
  • total distance = km to pickup + trip km
  • RON/km = price ÷ total distance
  • RON/h = price × 60 ÷ total time
  • RON/minute = price ÷ total time
  • estimated cost = cost per km × total distance
  • estimated profit = price − estimated cost

The rules

  1. Money is never calculated in floating point: the app uses exact decimals, and the calculator on this site exact fractions.
  2. Rounding happens once, on display: RON/km and money with 2 decimals, RON/h with none. The threshold comparison uses the unrounded value.
  3. Division by zero gives neither an error nor zero: the indicator shows “—”.
  4. A total exists only if both parts were read. If the trip distance is missing, RON/km shows “—” instead of being divided by the pickup distance alone. If the cost per km is missing, the cost and the profit show “—”, not zero.

The verdict

Each indicator has two thresholds, Good and Excellent. From the Excellent threshold the indicator is Excellent; from the Good threshold, Good; below it, Weak. When equal to a threshold, the better level. The card’s verdict is the weakest level among the enabled indicators. By default only RON/km is enabled, with Good from 2.50 and Excellent from 3.00; you can also set thresholds per hour or per minute.

An example you can check

Price 33.07 RON; to the pickup 10 minutes and 5.2 km; the trip 20 minutes and 9.5 km; cost 0.63 RON/km.

What it does not claim

TrueRide does not predict a shift’s income, does not know whether a better offer is coming, and knows no costs other than the ones you enter in the app.

TrueRide's numbers are estimates calculated from the offer it reads and from your settings, not a guarantee of income.
