Expense Tracker
Add each business expense as you spend it — date, description, category and amount — and this tool keeps a running total by category, then lets you download the whole log as a PDF.
It's built for the self-employed and small business owners who'd rather log expenses as they go than dig through a year of bank statements every January. The categories follow the groupings HMRC uses for simplified expense reporting, so the totals map straight onto your Self Assessment return. It doesn't replace your actual receipts — HMRC can ask to see them — so keep those safe alongside this log. Nothing you enter is saved or sent anywhere; everything happens in your browser.
This tool creates a simple expense log and category breakdown only — it isn't tax or legal advice, and it doesn't check whether an expense is actually allowable for your situation. Keep your original receipts; this log alone isn't proof of purchase. Nothing you enter is saved or sent anywhere.
