Mileage log

Mileage log that fits your car. And your tax situation.

Half5 only asks for what your vehicle needs for tax purposes per trip. Your phone detects trips, you confirm them weekly.

  • Rules for NL, BE, DE, and FR
  • Your phone looks up place names
In the app

A drive sits among your hours.

Car, purpose, and distance on one screen. The trip is added to your day, right alongside your work for the same client.

Vehicles, automatic mileage, and approval
From trip to approval

Approve only where money is involved.

  1. 1

    Detect

    Turn it on and the app on your phone will automatically detect trips. Your phone looks up place names, not the Half5 server.

  2. 2

    Confirm

    Detected trips are waiting for you. You confirm them weekly, or adjust them first.

  3. 3

    Approve when money is involved

    Only trips you bill to a client, or that get a mileage allowance for your own car, go to approval. Everything else just stays in your log.

  4. 4

    Four eyes

    No one approves their own trips, unless they're the only approver. You can give a reason when declining.

Tax rules

How much you log per trip depends on the vehicle.

  • The vehicle decides the fields

    A personal car with mileage reimbursement needs date, distance, and reason. A company car with a no-private-use declaration needs a full trip log. You never enter more than you have to.

  • Country-specific rules

    Half5 knows the rules for the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and France. A new vehicle starts on the lightest regime for your country; you don't have to answer a tax question up front.

  • Alongside your hours, not in them

    Drives are logged with work and leave, but don't count as hours worked.

In practice

Drives that count for clients and your team.

  • Bill rides to customers

    By mile, a flat fee per trip, or as travel time. Set the method per client; those trips go through approval.

  • Mileage reimbursement for employees

    The approver sees, per employee per week, which personal car trips cost money.

  • Manual entry too

    No automatic detection? Add a trip on web, desktop, or phone.
