As a gig worker, how do I determine my quarterly gross income when they pay me weekly and the month end earnings will be paid out at the beginning of the next month?

Should I wait for the statement and break it up? Does it count as earnings for the next quarter since it was paid out during the following month/quarter?

As a cash based taxpayer the income is considered taxable when it is recieved not when it is earned.

Why do you think you need that information? If it's for making quarterly estimated tax payments, the simple thing to do is make 4 equal payments based on your prior year tax liability. Most self employed people do it that way.
