• Title slide for the Contractor Ledger — “Expense & Mileage Ledger” set over illustrated contractor objects on a desk. Expenses, mileage, and tax-ready reporting — with the categories you actually use.
  • A laptop open to the Dashboard of a contractor Expense & Mileage Ledger in Google Sheets, with the headline “Log it the moment it happens. The sheet sorts, totals, and keeps it tax-ready”. Google Form on your phone. Expense lands in your sheet.
  • Typographic slide, no screenshot: “Without a record, those deductions quietly slip away” — about the contractor costs that go unrecorded, and the deductions that go with them.
  • A balance scale weighing the two vehicle deduction methods — standard mileage against actual cost — worked out both ways for contractor driving. Standard mileage keeps your first-year options open; actual can lock in for the life of the vehicle. Choose with eyes open.
  • A phone held in one hand showing the expense entry form: date, merchant, amount, category, payment method. This is where a contractor expense gets logged, in the moment.
  • Photograph of someone logging an expense on their phone away from the desk, captioned with real contractor moments: At the supply house. Paying a subcontractor’s invoice. Right after you leave the job site.
  • The expense form on a phone beside the Transactions tab it feeds: a contractor purchase submitted on the form appears as a new row in the Expense & Mileage Ledger, already sorted. Log an entry — your totals update automatically.
  • Photograph from behind the wheel: the mileage form is a second form on the same phone, for job sites, supply-house and material runs, client walkthroughs, and equipment pickups.
  • Full-width view of the Expense & Mileage Ledger Dashboard tab: spending by category, budget progress, recent expenses & miles, tax-deduction totals, insights — a contractor business, whole, on one tab.
  • The Expense & Mileage Ledger’s Budget tab, with a figure set against each contractor category — job materials & supplies, tools & equipment, and equipment rental — and the Dashboard flagging overspend as it happens.
  • The Expense & Mileage Ledger Dashboard’s projection panel, reading this year’s contractor deduction forward from the pace so far. Your full-year deduction, projected from your pace.
  • The Mileage Log tab — date, purpose, start and end odometer, miles, and the deduction at the IRS standard rate, calculated per trip. A contractor driving record built to be accepted.
  • Two exported cards side by side — Tax Summary and Transactions — sent from the Expense & Mileage Ledger’s custom Ledger & Light menu. A contractor year, ready to hand over.
  • The sheet’s tabs fanned out — Dashboard, Setup, Budgets, Transactions, Mileage Log, Tax Summary, Customize Forms, Expense Form, Mileage Form — plus the phone form that feeds them. Everything a contractor ledger is made of, in one view.
  • The Customize Forms tab, where the dropdowns become yours: contractor trip purposes such as job site, supply house and client meeting, plus your own payment methods.
  • The same contractor Expense & Mileage Ledger Dashboard shown three times in Sahara, Caribbean, or Pearl — the color choice made once, during setup.
  • The Expense & Mileage Ledger’s Setup tab on a laptop, walking a contractor owner through first-time setup step by step. A setup guide, a workflow card, and an email walkthrough. Set it up once. Then log each expense in the moment — for good.
  • Phone and sheet together — however many people are logging, every contractor entry reaches one Expense & Mileage Ledger. Log it in the moment, from your phone — the sorting takes care of itself.
  • Two panels comparing where a contractor ledger starts against the wider Ledger & Light range. Data carries across — nothing is re-typed, nothing is lost.
  • Closing slide, captioned receipt photos attached, one central ledger, yours to keep. Every contractor expense lands with its receipt attached, in one ledger that stays in your own Drive.

Contractor Expense & Mileage Ledger | Schedule C Tax Spreadsheet (Google Sheets)

Item highlights

  • Digital download

Seller's description

Form to sheet: log it in-the-moment on a Google Form on your phone, and the entry lands organized in your Google Sheet. No app, no re-typing. That's how every Ledger & Light tool works.

Your business costs and your business miles, logged from your phone into one sheet.

Lumber and job materials, a subcontractor's invoice, a tool that gave out mid-job, the fuel for the drive to the site — the money behind a contracting business goes out fast, all over the map.

Your Expense & Mileage Ledger keeps those costs and your business miles together in one sheet. Log an expense or a trip from your phone and it lands sorted and totaled on its own — and the miles you drive for job sites, supply-house and material runs, client walkthroughs, and equipment pickups become a running deduction at the IRS standard mileage rate.

✓ WHAT YOU GET:
• Your Expense & Mileage Ledger for Google Sheets — a private copy link arrives with your instant Etsy download
• A setup instruction PDF, delivered the moment you check out
• An Expense Form and a Mileage Form, both opening in any browser — no app to install
• A short email tips sequence after you finish setup

✓ KEY FEATURES:
• IRS Schedule C categories built for contractor work — no tax-code knowledge needed
• A Tax Summary tab, live Dashboard, and Budget that total and organize every cost on their own
• Your job materials land in cost of goods sold, your truck and fuel on Line 9 car and truck expenses, and subcontractor pay on Line 11 contract labor — each category is pre-sorted so the totals are ready at tax time
• Mileage Log with the current IRS standard mileage rate applied on its own
• Mileage Form on your phone — odometer start, end, destination, and purpose in one submit
• Customize Forms tab to add your own trip purposes to the Mileage Form dropdown
• Costs and mileage in one sheet — a single Tax Summary tab covers both at year end

✓ HOW IT WORKS:
1. Check out and download your instruction PDF from Etsy right away
2. Open your Expense & Mileage Ledger from the link inside, then Make a Copy into your own Drive
3. Set up your sheet and Mileage Form, then log expenses and trips from your phone as you go

✓ PERFECT FOR:
• Independent contractors and tradespeople logging job materials, tools, and subcontractor pay
• Builders and remodelers who want every job-site cost captured before the receipt walks off
• Skilled-trade pros — electricians, plumbers, HVAC, landscapers — logging supplies and permits
• Contractors who drive between job sites, supply houses, and material pickups and want those miles logged

I designed this ledger myself — the category logic, the Schedule C mapping, the formulas, the dashboard, and the mobile forms are all my own work, built for how a contractor really spends and drives.

Your instruction PDF is available immediately after purchase — no waiting, no shipping.

These tools help you stay organized. I'm not a CPA and nothing here is tax advice — your accountant has the final word.

The spreadsheet system, formulas, and tax categories are my own original design; AI tools assisted with the decorative illustrations.
