Cents per kilometre
AU and NZ rates, all four IRD fuel tiers, updated for FY 2025-26.
Most apps just hardcode the AU 88¢. A hybrid in Auckland is $0.86 / km — not the petrol $1.17 you'd otherwise over-claim.

What others charge
Same receipts. Wildly different bills at the end of the year.
All five track receipts and mileage. Some quietly take a cut, some lock you out in July, one charges $900 for the privilege.

What we deliberately don't do
Four shortcuts we passed on.
Every product cuts a corner somewhere. Here are ours, in writing, before you ask.
We don't take a cut of your invoices.
Because Hnry's 1% bites you the moment you start earning real money. Lodgr is $30 a year, full stop.
We don't hold your money.
If our maths is off, you can't be locked out of your own bank account fixing it. Your invoices land in your account, not ours.
We don't lodge BAS for you.
That's a registered tax agent's job. We hand you a clean PDF and your numbers; you (or your accountant) lodge through ATO/IRD.
We don't sync to the cloud.
Worksites lose signal. BAS doesn't wait. Your records live in SQLite on your phone — no third party holding the keys.

Receipts and expenses share the same monthly counter — scanning a receipt and adding one manually both count toward the 30.
Common questions
What freelancers ask first.
Straight answers. If we'd say no, we say no.
Does Lodgr lodge my BAS or tax return?
No. Lodgr is a self-service tracker. We hand you a clean PDF you (or your accountant) lodge through the ATO/IRD or myTax. We don't take a cut of your earnings, hold your money, or replace a registered tax agent. If you want full-service tax filing, Hnry or Beany do that — Lodgr keeps you in control instead.
What's the difference between Free and Pro?
Free gets you 30 expense entries (scanned or manual), 30 income entries, and 15 trips each month. The current quarter's BAS preview, set-aside calculator and tax dashboard are fully open. Pro lifts the caps and adds PDF reports (BAS, tax-ready annual, branded invoice, P&L), all historical BAS / GST quarters, unlimited bank-statement imports, and one-tap email to your accountant.
Does Lodgr work offline?
Yes. Every screen works on a plane, on a worksite, or with no signal. Your data lives on your device in SQLite — no cloud account, no third party holding your records.
How does the 7-day Pro trial work?
On the annual plan you get full Pro for 7 days at no charge. We send a reminder on day 3 and day 6. Cancel by day 7 in App Store → Account → Subscriptions and you'll never be charged. After 7 days the subscription becomes AUD $29.99 / year (NZD $24.99).
What happens to my data if I switch between AU and NZ?
Each region keeps its own ledger. Switching from AU to NZ swaps the data space cleanly, and your AU records reappear when you switch back. Your Pro entitlement is account-wide, so you don't lose Pro by switching regions.
Can I cancel my subscription?
Anytime. Open Settings → your Apple ID → Subscriptions on iOS. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Your data stays on your device whether you keep paying or not.
Why does Lodgr need camera and location?
Camera scans receipts and extracts amount, date, merchant and GST. Location records GPS mileage for ATO/IRD vehicle deductions at the current per-kilometre rate. Both run on-device — neither is sent to our servers.
28 July doesn't have to ruin your weekend.
Free tier, 7-day Pro trial, cancel anytime. Data stays on your phone — even when the worksite has no signal.
