Track business mileage by GPS or by hand — right inside the expense app you already use.
Tap Start and GPS records the route until you tap Stop, or add a trip by hand. Calendar meetings with an address become suggested trips you approve. Classify each drive as business or personal, set a rate per vehicle, and SparkReceipt works out the reimbursement. It's live on iPhone, Android, and the web, in the same app that already scans your gas, parking, and toll receipts.

See what changes when your mileage tracker lives in the same app as your receipts
Start, pause, resume, and stop a trip from the app — SparkReceipt uses your phone's GPS to record the route and distance. Pause for a coffee and the recorded route shows a real gap, not a phantom straight line across the break. On Android it keeps recording in the background, trips are saved even without a signal and sync when you're back online, and it picks up where it left off if your phone restarts mid-trip. Prefer manual control? Add a trip by hand after the fact.
Mark each trip as business or personal — one at a time or in a batch. SparkReceipt geocodes your route and stops and can suggest a trip purpose for you; edit any of it if the map got something wrong. Every trip is fully editable afterwards — GPS-recorded ones too — so you can fix the vehicle, toggle round-trip, or correct the details. Driving there and back? Turn on round-trip to double the distance in one tap.
Give each vehicle a rate, or set a default for your account. SparkReceipt multiplies each trip's distance by that rate — falling back to your account default when a vehicle has none — so every trip shows what it's worth, in a real currency you set for the account. Carpooling? Add a passenger count and an account passenger rate, and SparkReceipt adds a passenger reimbursement on top of the mileage. Distances appear in kilometers or miles, set automatically for your region.
Most mileage tracker apps do one thing well: they log your miles. But miles are only part of the picture. Every business trip generates more than just mileage — there's the gas station fill-up, the parking garage downtown, the highway toll, the car wash before picking up a prospect, the oil change receipt in the glove compartment.
SparkReceipt keeps your trips and those receipts in one app — so every vehicle-related cost is in the same place when it's time to add up your deductions. Weighing a dedicated tracker? See how SparkReceipt compares to MileIQ.
The IRS raised the 2026 standard mileage rate mid-year: 72.5 cents per mile for business driving from January 1 to June 30, and 76 cents per mile from July 1, 2026. At the second-half rate, 10,000 business miles is a $7,600 deduction, and missing just 100 miles per month costs you over $900 per year in lost deductions.
Whichever method you use, you need a record of each business trip made close to when you drove it. While a trip runs, GPS records its date, route, and distance, and you add the purpose in a tap, so the details are written down on the day you drove.
Every trip is timestamped, mapped, and saved with the business purpose you set — one trip at a time or a whole batch at once. It all lives in the same account as your scanned receipts, on your phone and on the web.
Set a rate per vehicle and each trip shows its reimbursement; leave the rate blank and SparkReceipt falls back to your account default. Missing just 100 miles per month costs you up to $912 per year in lost deductions at the 76-cent rate. Recording every trip, by GPS or by hand, means nothing slips through.
Passengers, real currency, and a trip PDF
Reimbursement amounts show in a real currency you set for the account. It starts from the account's Home currency in Account settings, so the numbers read the way your books do.
Carpooling counts too. Record how many passengers rode along, set an account passenger rate, and SparkReceipt adds a passenger reimbursement on top of the base mileage — with the mileage, passenger, and total amounts broken out so nothing is guesswork. Need it on paper? Download any trip as a PDF, on the web or your phone: it lays out the route, distance, purpose, vehicle, passenger count, and the full reimbursement breakdown, ready to file or hand to whoever signs off.
SparkReceipt does more than track mileage. AI receipt scanner snaps and extracts data in seconds. Email receipt capture connects your inbox automatically. Bank statement extractor matches transactions to receipts. Automatic categorization sorts expenses into tax categories. 190 currencies with automatic exchange rate conversion. Invite your accountant or bookkeeper to review your reports.
Your receipts, expenses, income, and now your trips all live in one account — on iPhone, Android, and the web.
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) permanently eliminated mileage deductions for W-2 employees. If you're self-employed, a freelancer, an independent contractor, or a gig worker — you're one of the few who can still claim the per-mile deduction on Schedule C (76 cents per mile from July 1, 2026).
At 10,000 business miles per year, the mileage deduction alone is $7,600 at the rate in effect from July 1, 2026. Add in gas station receipts, parking charges, tolls, and maintenance costs that SparkReceipt's AI receipt scanner captures automatically — and your total vehicle deduction could be significantly higher.

The app does not detect drives by itself. Tap Start and SparkReceipt uses your phone's GPS to record the trip until you stop it. You can pause and resume along the way, and on Android it keeps recording in the background. Trips are saved even without a signal and sync when you're back online. You can also add a trip by hand. Then classify each trip as business or personal, one at a time or in a batch.
Yes. In the iPhone and Android app, meetings in your phone's calendar that have an address show up as suggested trips after they end. Set your home or office as the starting point once and the distances fill in. Approve or dismiss each suggestion, or a batch at once, on your phone or on the web, and an approved suggestion becomes a trip like any other. Online meetings without an address are left out.
SparkReceipt records the details of each business trip as you drive: the date, route, distance, and the purpose you set. New US accounts start with the IRS business rate as the account default. You can change it or set a rate per vehicle, and it does not update itself when the IRS changes the rate. Each trip shows the reimbursement at that rate, and a trip report lists every trip for any date range as a PDF, CSV, or Excel file. Any single trip also downloads as a PDF with its route, distance, purpose, vehicle, passenger count, and reimbursement breakdown. On Elite, the Schedule C worksheet lists your business trips. Trips don't go into the expense report or to QuickBooks or Xero, so check the IRS rules for exactly what your claim needs.
Each trip's reimbursement is its distance multiplied by a rate you choose. Set a rate per vehicle, or an account-wide default; if a vehicle has no rate of its own, SparkReceipt uses the default. Amounts show in a currency you set for the account, which starts from the account's Home currency in Account settings. Add a passenger count and an account passenger rate and SparkReceipt adds a passenger reimbursement on top, showing the mileage, passenger, and total amounts separately. Distances show in kilometers or miles, set automatically for your region. Set no rate at all and the trip still logs — it just won't show a reimbursement amount until you add one.
There are two 2026 rates for business driving: 72.5 cents per mile from January 1 to June 30, 2026 (up from 70 cents in 2025), and 76 cents per mile from July 1, 2026, after a mid-year increase for fuel prices. Apply each rate to the miles driven in its period. Medical and moving mileage (military only) is 20.5 cents per mile through June 30 and 23.5 cents per mile from July 1, 2026. Charitable driving is 14 cents per mile. At the second-half rate, 10,000 business miles equals a $7,600 deduction.
Self-employed individuals, freelancers, independent contractors, gig workers (Uber, Lyft, DoorDash), and sole proprietors can deduct business mileage on Schedule C. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) permanently eliminated mileage deductions for most W-2 employees — making this exclusively a self-employed benefit.
Because mileage is only one part of your vehicle deductions. Gas station fill-ups, parking charges, tolls, car washes, and maintenance are all separately deductible expenses that require receipts. Most mileage tracker apps don't capture these. SparkReceipt combines mileage tracking with AI receipt scanning — so every vehicle-related deduction is captured in one app.
The standard mileage rate (76 cents/mile from July 1, 2026; 72.5 cents before) is simpler — just multiply business miles by the rate. The actual expense method requires tracking all vehicle costs (gas, insurance, repairs, depreciation) and applying your business-use percentage. Standard mileage works best for high-mileage, low-cost vehicles. Actual expenses work best for low-mileage, expensive vehicles. Important: if you choose actual expenses first, you can never switch back to standard mileage for that vehicle.
