Uber employed 34,000 people worldwide as of December 31, 2025, per its 10-K filed with the SEC on February 13, 2026. Those 34,000 employees supported $52.017 billion in FY2025 revenue, about $1.53 million per employee. This post covers Uber’s headcount growth, revenue per employee, workforce composition, segment revenue, and Q1 2026 results.
Uber Employee Statistics – TL;DR
- Uber had 34,000 employees on December 31, 2025, up 9.32% from 31,100 a year earlier.
- Revenue per employee reached roughly $1.53 million in FY2025, based on $52.017 billion in revenue.
- GAAP operating income grew 99% to $5.565 billion on less than 10% headcount growth.
- Sales and Support account for around 44% of the workforce; Engineering sits just over 15%.
- Uber announced a $10 billion autonomous vehicle investment in April 2026, targeting 50,000 robotaxis across 28 cities by 2028.
The core of these Uber employee statistics is a widening gap between headcount and output. Uber added about 2,900 employees in 2025 while operating income roughly doubled, so each incremental hire mapped to about $954,000 in incremental operating income. Gross Bookings per employee stood near $5.69 million.
How Many Employees Does Uber Have in 2026?
Uber reported 34,000 employees at the end of FY2025, according to Macrotrends data drawn from SEC filings. That follows 31,100 at the end of FY2024 and a back-calculated ~30,401 at the end of FY2023.
Headcount growth accelerated from 2.3% in 2024 to 9.32% in 2025. Uber added roughly 2,900 net employees during the year, compared with about 699 the year before.

| 2023 | ~30,401 | — | — |
| 2024 | 31,100 | +2.3% | ~699 |

For scale, Uber’s 34,000 employees compare with 1.5 million-plus at Amazon, whose figures appear in these Amazon workforce numbers. Millions of drivers and couriers on Uber’s platform are independent contractors and sit outside the employee count entirely, a dynamic covered more broadly in these freelancer statistics.
Uber Revenue Per Employee: How Efficient Is the Workforce?
Uber generated about $1.53 million in revenue per employee in FY2025, based on $52.017 billion in revenue from its Form 8-K and 34,000 employees. That is up from ~$1.41 million in FY2024 and ~$1.23 million in FY2023.
The figure is nearly double Adobe’s and about three times Salesforce’s, per MLQ.ai. Comparable data sits in these Adobe headcount figures and this Salesforce employee data.
| Metric | FY2023 | FY2024 | FY2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | $37.281B | $43.978B | $52.017B |
| Revenue per employee | ~$1.23M | ~$1.41M | ~$1.53M |
| Gross Bookings | $137.865B | $162.773B | $193.454B |
| GAAP Operating income | — | $2.799B | $5.565B (+99%) |
| GAAP Net income | — | $9.856B | $10.053B (+2%) |

Operating income per employee reached ~$163,700 in FY2025 and net income per employee ~$295,700. Gross Bookings per employee, at $193.454 billion divided by 34,000, works out to about $5.69 million.
Net income looks flat at +2% because Uber’s GAAP figure includes swings from equity investment revaluations. Operating income at +99% reflects the change in the underlying business.
Uber Workforce Composition: Who Does What?
Sales and Support is Uber’s largest function at around 44% of the workforce, per Unify GTM data from April 2026. Engineering holds just over 15%, and Business Management and Operations about 12%.
Engineering typically represents 30–40% of headcount at software companies like Salesforce or Adobe. Uber’s structure differs because drivers, couriers, and merchants require support at scale.
| Function | Share of Workforce |
|---|---|
| Sales and Support | ~44% |
| Engineering | Just over 15% |
| Business Management and Operations | ~12% |
| Finance, Admin, IT, HR, Legal (each) | Under 7% per function |

Where Do Uber Employees Work?
San Francisco and New York together hold about 6,600 employees, roughly 19% of the total 34,000. Over 70% of staff sit under “Other” locations, spread across regional offices and remote roles worldwide.
Chicago, Los Angeles, Seattle, Phoenix, and Bengaluru are additional named hubs, per Unify GTM. The heavy remote and regional spread mirrors patterns tracked in these return-to-office and remote work statistics.
| Location | Headcount / Share |
|---|---|
| San Francisco + New York | ~6,600 (~19%) |
| Other locations (regional offices, remote) | Over 70% |
| Additional named hubs | Chicago, Los Angeles, Seattle, Phoenix, Bengaluru |

The platform itself operates in over 70 countries and 15,000-plus cities as of December 31, 2025, per Uber’s FY2025 10-K. Those are market locations, not employee hubs.

Uber Q1 2026 and Q4 2025 Results
Q1 2026 Gross Bookings hit $53.720 billion, up 25% year on year, per Uber’s Form 8-K. Monthly Active Platform Consumers grew 17% to 199 million, so spending per user rose, not just user counts.
Revenue grew 14% to $13.203 billion against 25% bookings growth, reflecting a slight take-rate compression as Uber invests in driver and courier incentives.
| Metric | Q4 2025 | Q1 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Gross Bookings | $54.1B (+22%) | $53.720B (+25%) |
| Revenue | $14.4B (+20%) | $13.203B (+14%) |

Uber One membership reached 46 million as of December 31, 2025, per the FY2025 10-K.
How Will Uber’s $10 Billion AV Investment Affect Headcount?
Uber announced a $10 billion autonomous vehicle investment in April 2026: $2.5 billion in equity stakes and over $7.5 billion for robotaxi fleet development, per Unify GTM. Partners include Rivian, Baidu, and Lucid.
The target is up to 50,000 fully autonomous robotaxis across 28 cities by 2028, with San Francisco and Miami as the first planned markets.
If robotaxis scale at that pace, Uber could service more rides without proportional growth in its gig-worker layer. Revenue per employee, already at $1.53 million, would widen further because platform revenue scales while full-time headcount stays controlled, a shift consistent with trends in these future of work statistics.
Dara Khosrowshahi remains CEO with 2025 compensation of about $39.41 million, per Bullfincher citing Uber’s proxy filing. The company incorporated in July 2010 as Ubercab and listed on the NYSE on May 10, 2019. Comparisons across other large tech employers sit in these Meta workforce stats and this NVIDIA headcount breakdown.
