From the Uber fare estimator for a trip in East Lansing Michigan.
Per-minute
$0.17
Per-mile
$1.20

What is the catch?
Drivers do not make any money while driving to pick someone up or after dropping someone off. Often, when I tried out driving, about half the miles driven were without a fare.
Subtract the service fees from those numbers and it gets less lucrative.
