The Free Mileage Tracker UK Drivers Trust for HMRC Self Assessment
MileClear is a UK-built mileage tracker designed around HMRC's AMAP rates and the UK tax year. Background GPS captures every business mile, the 45p/25p calculation runs in real time, and your Self Assessment PDF is ready when you are. Free to download - no card needed.
Why UK Drivers Need a UK-Built Mileage Tracker
Most mileage trackers on the App Store are American. They use cents per mile, the IRS tax year, the Internal Revenue Service's standard mileage rate, and IRS-formatted exports. None of that helps you file an HMRC Self Assessment.
MileClear is built UK-first. The Approved Mileage Allowance Payment rates - 45p per mile for the first 10,000 business miles, then 25p for every mile after - are applied automatically as you drive. Your tax year runs 6 April to 5 April, not 1 January. Your export is the SA103 mileage box, with the per-trip detail HMRC asks for in case of an enquiry.
Built in the UK, by a self-employed driver, for self-employed drivers, gig workers, delivery riders, and anyone in PAYE who does business mileage their employer doesn't reimburse.
