Some costs turn up every month whether you gig or not. Insurance, your website, a backing track subscription. Typing the same expense in twelve times a year is the sort of job that never gets done, and then the tax year ends with half of them missing.
Times were the other small annoyance. Arrive by half five, on at eight, off at eleven. Typing those on a phone in a car park is fiddly.
What’s new
Expenses that repeat. Set an expense to repeat every month or every year and Gigflow adds it for you each time it comes round. Give it an end date or leave it running.
A scroll-wheel time picker. Times on the gig form now use one wheel for the hour and one for the minutes, in five-minute steps.
A rebuilt tax PDF. The PDF from your tax report is a summary sheet for the tax year: income, mileage, expenses by category, income by source and estimated tax.
How to use it
When you add an expense, tap Repeats and choose Every month or Every year. Under Ends, pick a date or leave it on Never. Adding expenses is a Pro feature.
On the gig form, tap a time such as Arrive by, Performing from or Performing until and spin the wheels to the time you want.
For the summary sheet, open your tax report and tap PDF.
Why it matters
Regular costs are the easiest ones to forget, and they add up over a year. Logging them once means they are sitting in your records when you or your accountant come to look. The tax figures in the PDF are estimates to help you plan, not a tax return.
