Why revenue per employee keeps rising
Revenue per employee is a rough measure of operating leverage. At Uber it has risen every year since 2020: $0.49M, $0.60M, $0.97M, $1.23M, $1.41M and $1.53M (calculated as annual revenue divided by year-end employees).
The reason is the marketplace model. Revenue grows with trips and orders, but the people who deliver them, drivers and couriers, are not employees. Adding a city or a product line adds software, operations and marketing staff, not the workforce itself.
Two caveats. First, how Uber books revenue changes the number: in some markets it records the full fare, in others only its cut, so revenue per employee is not perfectly comparable across years. Second, it says nothing about profit; for that, see Uber’s profit and losses by year.
Earlier figures and background
Uber generated $1,226,348 per employee in 2023, compared to $971,860 per employee in 2022, and $595,734 in 2021.
