Every business mile, valued correctly

Mileage Tracker

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.

Always know where you stand this tax year

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.

Every trip valued correctly, automatically

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.

One vehicle or several - ranked, not just listed

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.

A dashboard, not just a page of numbers

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, filter, and flip the order

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.

Your own rates, threshold and vehicles

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.

Your log is still there tomorrow

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 to CSV or PDF

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.

Any trade or profession

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.

Light/dark theme, and sample data

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.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to install anything to use Mileage Tracker?

Mileage Tracker is a Windows desktop app, free to try from the Microsoft Store.

Does my Mileage Tracker account work with Vector and Forma?

Yes - Mileage Tracker uses the same shared Metre2 account as Vector, Forma and every other Keystone app. Sign in once and it works everywhere.

How does the tax-year threshold work?

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.

Is this only for construction trades?

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.

Where do my trips go?

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.

Can I track more than one vehicle?

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.

Can I edit a trip after logging it?

Yes - click the pencil icon on any row to open it in the same quick form used for logging a new trip.

What happens when I cross the 10,000-mile threshold mid-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.
