Every business mile, valued correctly
Logs business mileage for tax and expense claims - any trade or profession. An always-visible tax-year dial tracks your progress toward the HMRC 10,000-mile threshold (where the per-mile rate drops), a journal-style trip log grouped by month holds the detail, and a Vehicles leaderboard ranks total miles and value per vehicle. Trips persist between sessions, and you can export the lot as CSV or PDF whenever you need it.
A radial dial sits above everything else - business miles logged, claim value so far, and your progress toward the HMRC 10,000-mile threshold where the rate drops. Step back through past tax years with prev/next navigation.
Log a date, purpose, from/to, vehicle and mileage - Mileage Tracker works out the claim value per trip based on your cumulative mileage that tax year, splitting the value automatically for the trip that crosses the threshold.
Add as many vehicles as you like, each with its own colour. The Vehicles tab is a leaderboard, ranked by claim value, so you can see at a glance which vehicle is actually earning you the most back.
The Summary tab leads with your total claim value as the headline figure, alongside total miles, average trip and most-used vehicle - plus a mile-by-vehicle breakdown and a table of totals for every tax year you've logged trips in.
Search by purpose, from or to, filter by vehicle or purpose, and toggle between newest-first and oldest-first to read the journal the way you want.
Defaults match UK HMRC AMAP rates for cars and vans (45p/mile up to 10,000 miles, 25p after) - all editable in Settings, along with your currency symbol and vehicle list.
Trips persist between sessions, so the log builds up into a real running record - close the app and reopen it, and everything you've logged is right where you left it.
Export the whole log as a CSV file or a formatted PDF whenever you need it - for your own records, an accountant, or a tax return.
The sample data leans toward trade and site work, but nothing in the app enforces it - any sole trader or freelancer who claims business mileage can use it.
A light/dark toggle that remembers your choice, and a randomised sample trip log - a fresh, realistic set of trips every time - to explore the app before you start logging your own.

Mileage Tracker is a Windows desktop app, free to try from the Microsoft Store.
Yes - Mileage Tracker uses the same shared Metre2 account as Vector, Forma and every other Keystone app. Sign in once and it works everywhere.
By default it follows UK HMRC's AMAP rates for cars and vans: 45p per business mile for the first 10,000 miles in a tax year (6 April to 5 April), then 25p per mile after. Both rates and the threshold are editable in Settings for other vehicle types or your own figures.
No - mileage logging is a common freelancer and sole-trader need well outside construction. The sample data leans toward trade work, but nothing in the app enforces it.
Trips persist on your device between sessions and in any file you export - nothing is uploaded anywhere. They don't currently sync across multiple devices.
Yes - add as many vehicles as you like in Settings, each with its own colour. The Vehicles tab breaks down total miles and claim value per vehicle.
Yes - click the pencil icon on any row to open it in the same quick form used for logging a new trip.
The trip's value is split automatically - the miles up to the threshold are valued at the higher rate and the remainder at the lower rate, so the claim value is always accurate even for the trip that tips you over.
