Frequently Asked Questions About TaskRabbit
How much do TaskRabbit Taskers make?
Taskers set their own rates, typically $20-50/hour for general tasks, $50-100+/hour for skilled work like electrical or plumbing. After the 15% fee, full-time Taskers report earning $500-2,000/week depending on city, skills, and availability.
Is TaskRabbit worth it after fees?
For many, yes. The 15% fee is offset by TaskRabbit's client acquisition and payment handling. Compare to finding clients yourself where you'd spend time/money on marketing. Most successful Taskers treat the fee as a reasonable cost of doing business.
What are the best-paying TaskRabbit tasks?
Skilled trades (electrical, plumbing) pay highest at $60-100+/hour. IKEA furniture assembly is steady work at $30-50/hour. Moving help pays $30-60/hour. General cleaning and errands are lower at $20-35/hour but more available.
