Milepost does the recording. You say which trips were for work, and it keeps the totals.
Milepost notices when you set off and logs the trip in the background, without you opening the app.
Swipe right for Business, left for Personal. Add the purpose, and Milepost suggests it next time you drive that route.
Share a PDF or CSV mileage log for the tax year with your accountant, or use it for your own return.
Built for UK sole traders and for employees who use their own vehicle for work.
Milepost uses your iPhone's location and motion to spot a drive, records the route, and ends the trip once you've been stopped for three minutes.
A Detection health screen shows if a setting is getting in the way, and a missed-trips check compares the last 7 days of motion history with your log.
Split a trip that included a stop, merge two that should be one, move a start or end point on the map, or correct the distance. Your reason is kept in the trip's notes.
55p a mile for the first 10,000 business miles from 6 April 2026, 45p before that, then 25p. The 10,000 miles count across all your cars and vans, and a trip that crosses the line is split.
Enter what your employer pays per mile and Milepost works out the gap you can claim as Mileage Allowance Relief, for this tax year and the previous four.
A mileage log for each tax year with the date, start and end postcodes, purpose, miles and HMRC rate of every business trip. There's also a quarterly summary for bridging software.
Type a postcode or address and Milepost works out the distance by road. Round trips are one tap, and you can go back to trips from 6 April 2020.
Turn on one reminder at 6pm, sent only on days when there are trips waiting to be classified.
Your log syncs to your own private iCloud storage, so it's backed up and comes back when you sign in on a new iPhone.
Cars and vans, motorcycles and bicycles, each at its own HMRC rate. Pause tracking for a day, until Monday, or until a date you choose.
UK tax years run from 6 April to 5 April. Milepost uses the rate for the tax year each trip falls in, so a log that spans 6 April 2026 is priced correctly on both sides.
| Vehicle | 2020/21 to 2025/26 | From 2026/27 |
|---|---|---|
| Car or van, first 10,000 miles | 45p | 55p |
| Car or van, after 10,000 miles | 25p | 25p |
| Motorcycle | 24p | 24p |
| Bicycle (employees) | 20p | 20p |
| Each passenger, car or van | 5p | 5p |
Rates are from HMRC's mileage rates on GOV.UK. When HMRC changes them, the new rates come in a free app update and your totals are worked out again from your trips.
