Riders & drivers

Cash in your pocket is not the same as pay.

Some of what you are holding belongs to the company. Some of it is fuel you have not bought yet. Some of it is the bike rent due on Thursday. NetWorth+ separates the four kinds of money a rider carries, so the number you see is the one you can actually spend.

A week on the road

Four kinds of money

  • COD cash you collectedOwed to the company. Not yours
  • Fuel, Salik, top-upsYours, and gone
  • Bike rent, visa instalmentYours, and due
  • What is leftThe only number worth planning with

In short

NetWorth+ is a free Android app that suits delivery riders and ride-hailing drivers in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman. It separates cash you are holding on behalf of a platform from money that is actually yours, tracks running costs like fuel, Salik, bike rent and fines against your earnings, and shows what a week or a month genuinely produced. Payouts, cash and expenses can all be recorded, and the app can read bank alert SMS on your phone with your permission so deposits fill themselves in. It does not connect to any bank and it costs nothing.

The problem

The money moves faster than the record

Riding for Talabat, Careem, Deliveroo or noon in Dubai — or driving in Riyadh or Doha — produces a lot of small movements and one confusing total.

Cash-on-delivery collections sit in your pocket looking exactly like income until the day you hand them over. Fuel goes in twice a week in amounts you never write down. The bike rent, the phone plan and the permit fee land on different days of the month. Payouts arrive weekly, or fortnightly, or late.

At the end of the month there is a bank balance, and no way to answer the only question that matters: after everything, what did the work pay?

The questions this is meant to answer

  • How much of the cash on me tonight is actually mine
  • What one kilometre costs me once fuel, rent and maintenance are counted
  • Whether last week was better than the week before, in a way I can prove
  • How much I can send home this month without borrowing it back later

How it handles it

Built for money that arrives in pieces

A cash account, held honestly

Company cash goes into its own account and shows as a liability against you until you hand it over. It stops inflating what you think you have, which is where a bad month usually starts.

Costs measured, not guessed

Fuel, Salik, fines, bike rent, phone credit and maintenance get their own categories. After a month you have a real cost per week instead of a feeling about it.

The payout fills itself in

When the platform deposits your earnings, the bank alert can be read on your phone and arrives in the Financial Inbox with the amount and date ready for you to approve.

What goes home is a transfer

Money you remit is not spending. It moves between your accounts, keeps the rate you actually got, and leaves your net worth intact instead of making a good month look reckless.

In practice

Set it up in one shift

1

Make two cash accounts

One for your own cash, one for company cash you are holding. The second is not income and should never be counted as any.

2

Add the fixed weight

Bike or car rent, visa or permit instalments, phone plan, insurance. Set them as scheduled payments so they appear before they surprise you.

3

Log fuel with the camera

Photograph the receipt and the amount, date and merchant are read on the device. It takes about as long as putting the pump back.

4

Read the week, not the day

A single good night proves nothing. The reports show earnings against costs by week, which is where a pattern is actually visible.

Nothing here requires you to give an app your bank credentials, and nothing here reports your earnings to anyone. NetWorth+ has no relationship with any delivery platform.

What this does not do

NetWorth+ does not connect to Talabat, Careem, Deliveroo, noon or any other platform, cannot import your trip history, and does not calculate tax, end-of-service benefits or anything a licensed adviser should be doing. It is a private record of your own money. It is also not a substitute for whatever your employer or contracting company requires of you.

Where this applies

Across the Gulf, and beyond it

Riding and driving work looks similar across the Gulf and the details differ: Salik and Dubai fines in the UAE, fuel prices reset monthly in Saudi Arabia, permits and contracting companies everywhere. The app handles the local currency and the local bank alert formats in each market.

NetWorth+ also covers India, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, the United Kingdom and the United States. Currency handling is not limited to the list above — three-decimal dinars and zero-decimal currencies are treated correctly rather than being forced into two decimal places.

Questions

Good to know

Can it import my earnings from Talabat or Careem?
No. There is no connection to any delivery or ride-hailing platform, and none of them offer one for a third-party app. You record payouts yourself, or let the app read the bank alert when the deposit lands, which takes a couple of seconds per payout.
I get paid partly in cash and partly by transfer. Does that work?
Yes, and it is the case the app is set up for. Cash and bank accounts sit side by side, and money moving between them is a transfer rather than income, so a cash deposit at the machine does not show up as being paid twice.
How do I keep company cash separate from my own?
Give it its own account. Collections go in, hand-overs go out, and the balance is money you are holding rather than money you have. Your spendable total excludes it, which is the entire point.
Is it free? I am not paying a subscription for this.
It is free, and there are no advertisements and no advertising SDKs in the app. If that ever changes it will not change retroactively for data you have already entered — your ledger is yours and can be exported to CSV at any time.
I do not read English easily. Is it usable?
The app is in English at present. The interface is built around numbers, icons and short labels rather than long text, and receipt scanning and SMS capture reduce how much typing is needed — but it would be dishonest to call it a multilingual app today.
Does it work offline?
Entries can be made without a connection and sync when you are back online, which matters when you are in a basement car park or a lift lobby half the day.
