Made by a tradie.
For tradies.

I came to Australia as an immigrant and worked on the tools — construction, concrete, whatever was going. I know what it's like to finish a long day on site and have no idea how much you've earned, what you can claim, or what you'll owe the ATO.

Tax time used to mean panic. Digging through bank statements at midnight. Forgetting the Bunnings receipt from September. Paying more tax than I had to because I hadn't kept track of a thing.

This is the spreadsheet I wish I had on day one as a sole trader. No software. No subscription. Just open it, fill in the numbers, and arrive at tax time ready.

Built by a tradie who became Australian. For tradies, sole traders, gig workers, and anyone working on their own — including immigrants still figuring out how tax works here.

Five tools.
One spreadsheet.

Everything you need to arrive at tax time prepared — no accountant required just to keep track.

Every tradie's
tax story.

If any of these hit home, this spreadsheet is for you.

😮‍💨

"I'll sort it out later."

Then it's June and you're going through 365 days of bank statements trying to remember what that $340 Bunnings run was actually for.

💸

You paid more tax than you had to.

Because you forgot to claim the tools, the ute kilometres, the work phone, the safety gear. All deductible — if you'd tracked it.

😤

"I had no idea I owed that much."

The ATO bill arrives and it's a shock. Nobody tracked it through the year, so nobody saw it coming.

🧾

A shoebox of receipts — or worse, nothing.

The ATO expects 5 years of records. This spreadsheet is that record, organised and ready to hand over whenever you need it.

Built for people who work for themselves.

If you earn money and deal with Australian tax, this bundle will save you time and probably money.

🔨

Tradies & sole traders

Plumber, sparky, builder, painter, tiler, landscaper — any trade working for themselves with an ABN.

🚗

Drivers & couriers

Uber, DoorDash, delivery. The vehicle tab tracks your kilometres and calculates your deduction automatically.

🌏

Immigrants & new Australians

Tax here is different. This bundle explains what you can claim and walks you through it step by step.

💼

Freelancers & side hustlers

Anyone earning outside of PAYG who needs to keep clean records for BAS, tax returns, or their accountant.

Not the right fit? If you run a company with employees or already have a bookkeeper, you probably need Xero or MYOB instead. This is built for solo operators keeping it simple.

Stop the headache.

Common questions.

Do I need to know Excel to use this?
No. You type in numbers. The spreadsheet handles all the calculations. If you can fill in a form, you can use this.
Does it work on my phone or tablet?
It works best on a laptop or desktop. On your phone, download the free Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets app — the file opens fine on both.
Is it ATO-compliant?
Yes. All tax brackets, Medicare Levy, BAS dates, deductible categories, and PAYG calculations are based on official ATO figures for Financial Year 2025–26 (1 July 2025 – 30 June 2026).
I'm an immigrant — does this work for me?
Yes, it was built with immigrants in mind. The tax brackets are for Australian residents. Working holiday makers have a different rate (15% flat) — there's a note in the estimator tab explaining this.
What format do I get and when?
You receive a .xlsx file that works in Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, and Apple Numbers. It's delivered to your email address within a minute of payment.
Can I get a refund?
Because it's a digital download, we don't offer refunds. But if something isn't working, email us and we'll fix it. That's a promise.
