In Australia there are two common ways to claim car expenses for work. The cents-per-km method lets you claim a set rate for each business kilometre — 88¢/km for 2025-26 — up to a cap of 5,000 business kilometres per car per year. It is simple: multiply your business kilometres by the rate. You still need reasonable evidence of how you calculated those kilometres, which is exactly what this tracker provides.
The logbook method lets you claim a percentage of your car's actual running costs (fuel, servicing, insurance, depreciation) based on your business-use percentage. To use it you must keep a valid logbook for a continuous 12-week period that represents your typical travel. Logging both business and personal trips here helps you work out that business-use percentage accurately.
If you drive between job sites, suppliers and clients, those kilometres add up fast. Tradies, sole traders, real estate agents, mobile technicians and freelancers can log each site visit or callout in seconds — from job to job — and let the tracker tally the reimbursement. Because everything is stored locally in your browser, there is nothing to install and no data leaves your device. Pair it with the Receipt Scanner for fuel and parts, and the Financial Accounting Tools for the full expense picture.
This information is general in nature and does not constitute tax, accounting, or legal advice. Cents-per-km rates and logbook rules change — always confirm the current figures with the ATO or a qualified accountant.
Yes. The mileage tracker is 100% free with no signup, no subscription, and no limits. It runs entirely in your browser and stores your trip log on your own device in localStorage, so your data stays private.
For the 2025-26 income year the ATO cents-per-km rate is 88 cents per kilometre, capped at 5,000 business kilometres per car per year. The rate is set by the ATO and changes periodically, so we make it fully editable and you should always confirm the current rate at ato.gov.au or with your accountant.
It depends on the method. The cents-per-km method does not require a formal logbook but you must be able to show how you worked out your business kilometres. The logbook method (for claiming a percentage of actual running costs) does require a valid 12-week logbook. This tool helps you keep records for either approach.
Each trip has a Business/Personal toggle. Only business trips count toward your business totals and reimbursement claim, but recording personal trips too helps you calculate an accurate business-use percentage for the logbook method.
