What the tracker helps you manage
From irregular payments to business expenses, tax reserves and income goals, the tracker brings your self-employed finances into one organised system. Built-in calculations and dashboards help you understand your financial position and make informed decisions about the money you can
actually use.
Income & agency payments
Track payments handled by your agent separately from income earned directly. Check agency commission, VAT on commission and the money received into your bank. Keep track of contracted work and payments arriving in instalments.
Expenses & reimbursements
Manage everyday business
expenses and job-specific costs in separate worksheets. See your spending in the Expenses
Dashboard, track reimbursements and understand how expenses affect your overall financial
position.
Tax reserves & usable cash
Plan ahead for Income Tax and National Insurance using your chosen tax reserve settings. See how much money remains
available after your selected tax reserve, giving and pension
allocations, helping you budget beyond your gross earnings.
Planned work & income goals
Keep track of upcoming
contracted work and expected payments. Set income goals and use the Income Needed calculator to understand how much you need to earn to reach your targets after your chosen financial
allocations.
