Expense categories
MileLedger ships with a set of built-in expense categories covering common business and personal spending. You can also create custom categories to match your specific workflow.
Built-in categories
MileLedger includes standard categories such as Meals & Entertainment, Fuel, Lodging, Parking & Tolls, Office Supplies, Travel, Vehicle, and more.
Built-in categories cannot be renamed or deleted, but you can create custom categories alongside them.
Creating a custom category
Go to Settings → Expense Categories → Add Category.
Enter a name and choose an icon or color to distinguish it from built-in categories.
Your custom category is immediately available when adding or editing any expense.
Editing or deleting custom categories
In Settings → Expense Categories, tap a custom category to rename it or change its icon.
Deleting a custom category does not delete expenses already assigned to it; those expenses retain the category name as a label.
Categories and budgets
Budgets can be set at the category level. Assign a weekly, monthly, or yearly spending limit to any built-in or custom category.
The Insights screen breaks spending down by category so you can track trends over time.
