Beeltra is an AI-powered earnings tracker built for gig delivery drivers (DoorDash, Uber Eats, Instacart, Amazon Flex, Spark, and more). It automatically tracks your miles, calculates your real net income after fuel and taxes, and prepares your data for tax season — all in one app.

DoorDash, Uber Eats, Instacart, Amazon Flex, Grubhub, Shipt, Spark Driver, Walmart+, and more. You can log earnings from multiple platforms within the same shift.

Yes. All data is saved locally first and synced to the cloud when you reconnect. You will never lose data due to a lost signal during a shift.

During an active shift tap Log Earnings. Enter the platform, base pay, tip, and bonuses. You can log multiple orders — just tap after each delivery. The app also shows your Vehicle Wear Cost and real Net Earnings live.

Tap End Shift. Enter your ending odometer reading, confirm total miles, and tap Save Session. Your $/hr, total miles, and net income are saved automatically.

Yes. Go to Sessions → tap any completed session → Edit. You can adjust earnings, miles, platform, and notes. All changes sync automatically.

As an independent contractor you can deduct:

Vehicle: Fuel, oil changes, tires, repairs, insurance, registration
Work tools: Phone plan/data, phone mount, insulated bags
Other: Parking, tolls, car washes

Note: If you use the IRS standard mileage rate you cannot separately deduct fuel or depreciation — those are already included.

Go to the Expenses tab → tap the + button. Select the category (Fuel, Insurance, Tolls, etc.), enter the amount and date. Filter by category at the top to review specific costs.

IRS Standard Mileage ($0.67/mi 2024): Simpler. Covers fuel, depreciation, and wear in one rate. Best for most drivers.

Actual Expense Method: Track every cost individually. Can be larger if your car has high costs, but requires more record-keeping.

You must choose one per vehicle per year. Beeltra's AI compares both and recommends the better option. (Premium)

The Offer Evaluator calculates your real net profit for any delivery offer — after fuel, vehicle depreciation, and self-employment tax. It gives you an instant ACCEPT / MARGINAL / DECLINE verdict based on your effective $/hour.

Dead miles are the miles you drive after a delivery — returning to your zone — for which you are not paid. They still cost you fuel and vehicle wear. The app auto-fills dead miles equal to the delivery miles, which you can adjust if you already have another order nearby.

Net = Offer Pay − Fuel − Wear/Depreciation − SE Tax

• Fuel: (total miles / MPG) × gas price
• Wear: total miles × $/mi rate
• SE Tax: ~14.1% of taxable income after IRS mileage deduction

Total miles = delivery miles + dead miles (return trip).

Based on your effective net $/hour:

✅ ACCEPT — $15+/hr net
🟡 MARGINAL — $9–15/hr (consider if slow)
❌ DECLINE — Under $9/hr

Yes. As an independent contractor you owe:

• Income tax — federal + state on your net profit
• SE tax — 15.3% of net SE income (Social Security + Medicare)

Platforms do NOT withhold taxes. You must pay quarterly estimated taxes to the IRS.

Schedule C (Form 1040) is where you report self-employment income and deductions. Beeltra's Reports tab generates a Schedule C summary you can hand directly to your tax preparer.

A safe rule: set aside 25–30% of every deposit.

Example: You receive $500 → transfer $125–$150 to a separate savings account immediately. The AI Copilot tracks your quarterly tax balance automatically.

Go to Reports → Export PDF or CSV. Filter by date range, platform, or year. The PDF report is formatted and ready to hand to your tax preparer. (Premium)

The Situation Meter compares your current $/hour against your historical average:

🟢 ON TRACK — At or above your average
🟡 WARNING — Below average
🔴 CRITICAL — Significantly underperforming — the AI recommends action

The AI analyzes your history and shows:

• Your best day — e.g. "Saturdays you average $75"
• Vehicle cost alerts — warns if your cost/mile exceeds IRS rate
• Earnings prediction — estimated earnings for today based on your patterns
• Peak hours — best time windows to maximize $/hr

The chat is powered by DeepSeek AI and has access to your live stats. You can ask anything:

"Should I keep going or call it a day?"
"What's my best day and time to work?"
"How much do I need to earn this week to hit my goal?"

A side-by-side analysis of your earnings across platforms — DoorDash vs Uber Eats vs Instacart — broken down by $/hr, $/mile, and total earnings, so you know which platform is actually worth your time.

The IRS sets a standard rate per mile driven for business purposes. Using this rate is the simplest method — it covers fuel, depreciation, oil, tires, and insurance in one number.

Year	Rate	IRS Reference
2025	$0.70 / mile	IRS Standard Mileage Rates →
2024	$0.67 / mile	IRS Standard Mileage Rates →
2023	$0.655 / mile	IRS Standard Mileage Rates →

If you choose the actual expense method instead of the standard mileage rate, you may claim MACRS depreciation on your vehicle. However, the IRS caps annual depreciation for passenger vehicles under Section 280F ("listed property").

Delivery platforms are legally required to report your income to the IRS under two forms:

Form	When issued	What it covers
1099-NEC	Earnings ≥ $600/yr	Non-employee compensation (your delivery earnings)
1099-K	$5,000+ in 2024 $2,500+ in 2025 (planned)	Payment card / third-party payments

📄 IRS — About Form 1099-NEC →

🌐 IRS Gig Economy Tax Center →

As an independent contractor, you report your gig income on Schedule C (Form 1040) — "Profit or Loss from Business." This is where you:

• Report your gross earnings (Box 7 of 1099-NEC, plus any unreported income)
• Deduct business expenses (mileage, phone, supplies, etc.)
• Calculate your net profit — the amount subject to both income tax and SE tax

Key expense lines on Schedule C:

Line	What to enter
Line 9	Car and truck expenses (your mileage deduction)
Line 25	Utilities (phone data plan — business portion)
Line 27a	Other expenses (insulated bags, phone mount, tolls, parking)

As a gig worker you are both employer and employee, so you pay both sides of Social Security and Medicare taxes:

Component	Rate	Notes
Social Security	12.4%	On first $168,600 of net SE income (2024)
Medicare	2.9%	On all net SE income
Total SE Tax	15.3%	Applied to 92.35% of net profit

Example: Net profit $40,000 × 92.35% = $36,940 × 15.3% = $5,652 SE tax


📄 IRS — Self-Employment Tax →

If you expect to owe $1,000 or more in federal taxes for the year, you are required to make quarterly estimated tax payments using Form 1040-ES.

2025 Payment Due Dates:

Quarter	Income period	Due date
Q1	Jan 1 – Mar 31	April 15, 2025
Q2	Apr 1 – May 31	June 17, 2025
Q3	Jun 1 – Aug 31	September 15, 2025
Q4	Sep 1 – Dec 31	January 15, 2026

Safe Harbor Rule: To avoid underpayment penalties, pay either:
• 100% of last year's tax liability, OR
• 110% of last year's tax (if prior year AGI > $150,000), OR
• 90% of current year's tax
