Professional mileage tracking for the self-employed

Every trip to a client is deductible and/or billable. Stay on top of it without becoming an accountant.

Freelancers and sole proprietors juggle small clients, events, and in-person visits. Without tracking, those kilometers become unrecovered personal expense. Quilometragem strikes the right balance between simplicity and professionalism.

Common pains

• No finance department — You are finance. The system produces complete receipts without spreadsheets or hiring a CPA for the details.
• Mixed personal and pro use — Same car, mixed use. Per-leg logging keeps the line clean and prevents over- or under-deduction.
• Transparent billing — When the work requires travel, attach the receipt to the proposal or invoice. Clients pay without questioning.

Best practices

• Log at end of day — Block 5 minutes at end of day for professional legs. It becomes a habit fast.
• Use the market rate — Use your industry average. Charging way above without justification looks abusive.
• Group monthly — Export the monthly CSV to your bookkeeper. Tidy substantiation cuts tax-time questions.

Frequently asked questions

Can sole proprietors deduct mileage?

Yes. Schedule C filers can deduct business mileage at the IRS standard rate or via actual expense method.

And LLCs?

Single-member LLCs work the same way as sole proprietors. Multi-member LLCs reimburse the member who drove.

How do I bill the client?

Attach the receipt to the proposal. Add mileage as a separate line item (e.g., "Travel: 28 km × $0.70 = $19.60").

Freelancers who track mileage raise their average ticket by 5% to 10% and earn more trust from corporate clients.
