Your car is your biggest write-off.
Watch it work — live.
See it live. As you drive.
Live, not later.
Other mileage apps hand you a number at tax time. Yours works while you drive — so you know what a job actually costs you, and watch your write-off build in real time.
Every other mileage app
You find out what you spent — and what you can deduct — long after the money's gone. Useful, but it's history.
LiveGasCost
Watch the gas cost of each drive to a client climb in real time — and your tax deduction climb right alongside it. Decide what's worth driving for before you take the next job.
Built for how you actually work
Consulting, contracting, gig driving, a side hustle, or all of the above — if you drive for it, it's a write-off. We make keeping it airtight effortless.
Automatic tracking
Just drive. Every trip records itself in the background — no button, no forgetting. Your whole year logs itself.
One swipe: business or personal
Swipe each drive to keep your 1099 miles cleanly separated from personal ones. Add a purpose if you want the detail.
Live gas cost● LIVE
See what every drive actually costs you in fuel — live, mile by mile. The one thing no other mileage app does.
IRS-ready in a tap
A clean mileage log with dates, miles, purpose, and your deduction — the exact record the IRS wants for Schedule C.
The right rate, every trip
The IRS rate changed mid-2026. We apply the correct rate to each trip's date automatically — so a split year is still exact.
Private by default
Your drives live on your phone, not sold to anyone. Add Cloud backup only if you want it. Fully Google-free.
Straight onto your Schedule C
Self-employed? Your mileage deduction lands on Schedule C, Line 9 — "Car and truck expenses." Here's what a real year looks like.
LiveGasCost hands you this figure and the mile-by-mile log behind it — export as PDF or CSV, or email it to your accountant.
What's your write-off worth?
Type your business miles. See your deduction live — and what those miles cost you in gas.
Deduction = business miles × the current IRS rate (76¢/mi). A deduction lowers taxable income; actual tax saved depends on your bracket. Estimate, not tax advice.
