Get ready to unlock the secrets of making money on Taskrabbit and discover how this platform can be more than just a side hustle, but a step towards financial empowerment.

Taskrabbit is an American company founded in 2008, but it operates in several key cities within the UK as an odd-job app, one of the many available in the UK.

One advantage of Taskrabbit is that it’s a same-day service platform. As a Tasker, you’ll connect to a user to finish a task on the same day.

Tasks you can complete

As a Tasker, you have the opportunity to engage in various tasks, usually involving physical work, including:

• Furniture Assembly: Assembling flat-pack furniture, and setting up new furniture pieces, for example, from Ikea and Argos.

• Home Repairs: Handling minor repairs around the house, from fixing leaky taps to patching up walls.

• TV Mounting: Safely and securely mounting televisions to walls.

• Moving Assistance: Helping pack, lift, and move items during home or office moves.

• Gardening: Weeding, mowing lawns, and other outdoor maintenance tasks.

• Organisation: Assisting in-home decluttering, organising spaces, and setting up offices.

• Cleaning Services: Providing cleaning tasks, from general housekeeping to more specific cleaning jobs.

• Delivery and Errands: Running errands, delivering items, food shopping, and more.

Payment is conveniently and securely handled through the Taskrabbit app upon completing a task. Taskrabbit maintains a cashless system, ensuring all transactions are traceable and secure, enhancing trust and ease for both Taskers and clients.

To become a Tasker, the first thing you have to do is sign up. You need to have a smartphone as a minimum requirement. You’ll handle all bookings through the app, which requires a suitable smartphone. If you have a capable device, proceed with the following steps:

1. Download the Taskrabbit app from the iOS App Store or Android Play Store.
2. Create an account. Include the details requested, such as your full name and email address.
3. You’ll need to pick a location where you prefer to work. In addition, Taskrabbit will ask you to choose task categories. Through this step, the app can match you with tasks that match your skill level.
4. Add a profile picture and submit uploaded documents.
5. All Taskers will need to undergo security checks, which is how the company ensures that users can trust the people coming into their homes. Make sure to submit the required information, such as a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check and proof of right to work.

Once you’re accepted, you can begin accepting work. Make sure to set your availability and hourly rate — we’ll discuss the latter further below. Remember that some types of work, such as furniture installation, are more in demand. So, set your expectations, especially if your expertise is more niche.

Thankfully, you can get more jobs if you have longer available hours. So, on free days or weekends, be sure to maximise your available time.

In the UK, Taskrabbit uses direct bank payments to pay you, the Tasker. You must have a valid bank account to ensure you receive payments on time. Thankfully, Taskrabbit will not deduct anything from your hourly rates. Instead, it adds a surcharge to clients to gain profits.

You will need to provide your banking details during the initial registration. And as mentioned, you also cannot accept cash from clients. Only UK bank accounts can be used to sign up with Taskrabbit.

Taskrabbit is a great side hustle, but the frequency of work can be patchy at best and it’s not a sustainable main income source for beginners. However, you can still earn a lot depending on your location, rates, and the skills you bring to the table.

At the minimum, you can charge £10 an hour to help with moving. The more practical skills you have, the higher rates you can apply. There are also customer ratings — those with high ratings can earn the Taskrabbit Elite title.

Once you reach the Taskrabbit Elite designation, you can charge higher rates. Just make sure to provide quality service and high levels of professionalism to achieve this ranking.

You could earn up to £50 an hour as a Taskrabbit Elite. At this point, being a Tasker can become a viable main income source.

Right after registration, you may not know how much you should charge per hour. One way to determine suitable rates is by exploring the Taskrabbit site as a client. Check out the rates for specific niches and follow them.

We advise you to start on the lower end and gradually increase as you gain more experience. For example, you can begin charging £40 for TV wall mounting. As you take on more projects, you can up your rate to as high as £59.

Should you be paying taxes as a Taskrabbit Tasker? Yes, if you reach the £1,000 annual income threshold. You will be working as an independent contractor, so you’re technically a sole trader. If you earn over £1,000, you must register with HMRC for self-assessment. So, ensure you track your earnings to avoid inaccuracies when filing your tax returns.
