Gig Driver Mileage & Tax Tracker: Real Hourly After Gas, IRS Mileage Log & Quarterly Tax (Excel + Google Sheets + PDF)

Do you actually know what you made per hour last Saturday, after gas?

Most drivers know their gross. The app shows it. What the app never shows is the gas you burned, the miles you put on the car, or the tax bill that lands in April. So you drive a Friday dinner rush, see $120, and have no idea whether it was a $28 hour or a $14 hour.

That gap costs real money. The wrong app on the wrong night quietly eats a few dollars an hour for a whole year. Miles you did not write down are a deduction you cannot claim (at the IRS rate, every 1,000 forgotten miles is roughly $700 off your taxable income). And the quarterly tax you did not set aside becomes a lump sum with penalties.

The Gig Driver Mileage & Tax Tracker fixes all three in about 20 seconds a shift. Type the app, hours, miles, pay, tips and gas; the sheet shows your real hourly after gas, your dollars per mile and your mileage deduction on the spot. The Dashboard greets you by name and tells you in plain English whether you are on track ("You need $412 more to hit your $3,000 goal for October"). Platform Split tells you which app actually pays. Best Days & Hours is a heat table of your real hourly by weekday and time window. Tax Set-Aside estimates each quarter and shows the real IRS due dates.
