What it does

What is GigTaxHelper, and what is it for?

Gig work means income from several apps, a lot of miles, and a tax bill nobody withheld for you. GigTaxHelper keeps all of that in one place, in plain numbers you can understand at a glance.

It is an income and mileage tracker built specifically for gig work — not a general budgeting app with gig features bolted on. Every screen answers one of the questions gig workers actually ask: How much did I make this week? Am I on track for my goal? How much should I set aside for taxes? How many business miles have I driven, and what are they worth?

You enter what you earn when your shift ends, and the app does the arithmetic. It keeps a running total for the week, the month and the year, estimates the self-employment tax on that income, and subtracts your fuel and toll costs so you can see what you really took home.

When tax season arrives, you export a clean PDF or Excel report instead of scrolling through your bank app looking for deposits. Nothing is sent to a server and there is no account to create — your records stay on your device.

  • Who is it for?

    Rideshare drivers, delivery couriers and independent contractors — anyone with 1099 income.

  • What problems does it solve?

    Scattered earnings, forgotten mileage and a surprise tax bill — replaced by one clear picture.

  • What do you get out of it?

    Tax-ready records, an estimated tax figure you can budget for, and proof of every business mile.

  • Is it private?

    Yes. No sign-up and no login — your income and mileage records live on your own device.

Features

Everything you need to stay ahead of tax season.

Built around the daily routine of gig work: end your shift, log the numbers, get on with your day.

One dashboard for the week

Weekly earnings, progress against your goal, last week's total and next week's target — visible the moment you open the app.

Weekly Tax Shield

Every week the app suggests how much to set aside for taxes, so the money is already there when the bill arrives.

Yearly and monthly goals

Set a yearly income target and GigTaxHelper breaks it into a monthly and weekly goal, with a live percentage and the amount left to go.

Mileage & odometer log

Record your odometer reading and the app works out the business miles. Every entry is dated, so you always have a defensible mileage record.

Odometer scanner Pro

Point your camera at the dashboard and the app reads the number for you. No typing at the end of a long shift.

Tax estimates as you go

See estimated tax owed year-to-date and how much your mileage has saved you — recalculated with every entry you add.

Fuel costs & tolls

Subtract what the car actually costs you. The fuel price is picked up automatically and you can add parking and tolls per trip.

PDF & Excel reports

Generate an earnings report for any period and email it to yourself or your accountant in one tap.

AI Helper

Ask plain-language questions about your numbers and get answers without hunting through settings or formulas.

Daily reminders

A gentle nudge at a time you choose, so you log the day's earnings and mileage while you still remember them.

Backup & restore

Export a backup of your records and restore it on a new phone — your history moves with you.

Currencies & regions

Works with your local currency and tax settings, so the numbers mean what they should wherever you drive.

How it works

Three habits. That's the whole system.

GigTaxHelper is designed so that staying organised takes about a minute a day.

  1. 1
    Log your income. When a shift ends, add what you earned on that platform — Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, or any other source you use.
  2. 2
    Log your mileage. Enter the odometer reading (or scan it with the camera) and the app calculates the business miles and their value.
  3. 3
    Read your numbers. Instantly see weekly earnings, the tax you should set aside, estimated tax owed for the year and your true net income.

Then export when you need it

At any point you can generate a PDF or Excel report covering the period you choose and email it to your accountant. No more reconstructing the year from bank statements.

Your numbers, in plain sight

Know what you keep, not just what you earn.

Gross income can look great and still leave you short at tax time. GigTaxHelper shows the whole picture — including what your miles are worth.

Estimated tax owed (year to date)
$1,239.85

Estimated from the income you have logged, so there is no surprise in April.

Saved by your mileage
$1,703.41

Every business mile you record is working for you at tax time.

Net income after costs
$101.52

Gross income minus estimated fuel cost and tolls — what the trip really paid.

Figures are examples from the app to illustrate the screens. Your own numbers come from what you enter.
