Frequently asked questions

Why track income through the year?

Because the self-employed pay tax quarterly, not just in April. A running total of income and expenses keeps each estimated payment accurate and ensures you've set enough aside — no year-end scramble.

Is Plot's tracker free?

Tracking your income and expenses and seeing the tax on them is free; Plot takes 0%. Saving your history across devices and exporting it is part of a paid plan.

Does Plot replace my accountant or tax software?

Plot helps you understand and plan your tax year-round and gives you clean figures to file with. It's a companion, not a replacement for professional advice on a complex return.
