Logging your actuals for a gig

After the gig, log what actually happened. Feeds your year-end Schedule C.

Two-minute post-show flow​

  1. Gigs → the gig.
  2. Tap Log actuals.
  3. Fill in:
    • Revenue received — guarantee, door cut, any bonuses
    • Merch revenue — total cash + cards (not profit yet, just revenue)
    • Expenses paid out — gas receipts, any venue expenses deducted at settlement, tips to sound engineer
  4. Tap Save.

Takes 2 minutes post-show. Less if you capture receipts in real time.

Receipt photo capture​

Per receipt:

  • Open Mintoor app
  • Tap the camera button on the budget item
  • Snap the receipt
  • Mintoor attaches the photo to that budget item so it's there when you reconcile

You still type in the date, vendor, amount, and category yourself for now. Smart Scan auto-extract is coming as a Pro upgrade — once it's live, you'll snap once and Mintoor will pre-fill the fields.

What Mintoor auto-computes​

  • Mileage — Mintoor knows you drove from home base to the venue and back. Auto-logs mileage at the IRS standard rate.
  • Per diem — if you've enabled it for the gig, Mintoor adds the per-diem allowance.
  • Net — revenue minus expenses minus mileage.

This year's totals​

Once you've logged a few gigs, the Budget page's year view (pick the "All [year]" pill) rolls everything up: income, expenses, net, a month-by-month chart, and every category mapped to its Schedule C line. See Viewing your earnings.

Still stuck?​

  • Forgot to log a gig. Backfill anytime from Gigs → Add past gig.
  • Receipt photo didn't attach. Make sure you tapped Save on the budget item after attaching.
