It is a planning ledger
Use it during the year to keep a working view of job economics and tax reserve needs.
About
Tax planning for field techs who get paid job by job.
TechLedger is built around the way independent field service technicians actually work: Field Nation jobs, WorkMarket jobs, direct-client calls, mileage, tolls, platform fees, and quarterly federal tax planning.
Why this exists
A 1099 field tech can have solid gross revenue and still miss the real number that matters: what is left after marketplace fees, deductible mileage, supplies, and tax reserve. General bookkeeping tools can track categories, but they rarely show whether a completed work order was worth the drive, the time, and the later self-employment tax bill.
TechLedger focuses on a narrower workflow. Log the job, platform, gross pay, mileage, tolls, parking, and hours. The dashboard turns those entries into running federal estimates for Schedule C profit, self-employment tax, income tax planning, and estimated payment timing.
What TechLedger is and is not
It is private by design
The current MVP stores job and settings data in your browser local storage. It does not sync job records to a server.
It is not tax advice
TechLedger estimates federal planning numbers only. Reconcile records before filing and consult a qualified tax professional for advice.
TechLedger focuses on United States federal planning for independent contractors. It does not calculate state or local income tax, sales tax, business license obligations, or individual filing positions outside the inputs shown in the app.
