Example: a €42 train fare, a €18 lunch and 60 miles at €0.45 per mile (€27.00) give a claim total of €87.00 — itemised by category, not lumped together.

How to make an expense claim in 4 steps

  1. Fill in your details. Your name, employer or client, the claim period and your currency.
  2. Add one row per expense. Date, description, category and amount. Mileage rows calculate automatically from miles driven at the rate you set.
  3. Check the live total. Category subtotals and the grand total update as you type, so errors show up before you submit.
  4. Download the PDF. One click builds a clean A4 claim form with itemised rows, totals and a signature line — ready to send to payroll or your client.

Answer: what counts as a valid expense claim

Fact: in the UK, HMRC's Approved Mileage Allowance Payment for 2025/26 is 45p per mile for the first 10,000 business miles driven in your own car in a tax year, then 25p per mile after that (source: HMRC, Approved Mileage Allowance Payments). That single rate is why this generator has a dedicated mileage row: enter the miles and the amount is calculated for you at the rate you set, instead of being typed by hand and mistyped.

A claim finance teams actually approve has four things: the date of each expense, what it was for, the category it belongs to, and the amount — with a receipt attached for anything substantial. The formula is simple: claim total = sum of all expense amounts + (business miles × mileage rate). Keep business and personal spending on separate rows, never round amounts up, and file the claim in the same month as the spending — late, lumped claims are the ones that get questioned. This tool produces the itemised form; your receipts still travel with it, because a claim form without receipts is a request, not evidence.

Why use a browser-only expense claim tool

🔒 Spending data stays private

Server-based claim tools receive your expenses, clients and travel. Ours never does — the PDF is assembled by JavaScript on your device. Verify it in the Network tab: no upload happens. Our safety guide explains the difference.

🚗 Mileage, calculated for you

Enter miles driven and the tool applies your mileage rate — 45p per mile is the UK default, but you can set any rate your employer uses.

💱 Any currency, any category

Claim in EUR, USD, GBP or CHF, across travel, meals, accommodation, supplies and mileage — with an 'Other' row for everything else.

📄 A real PDF, not a screenshot

The output is a genuine A4 PDF document with an itemised table, category subtotals, a grand total and a signature line — clean on screen and in print.

🧾 Pairs with your invoice

Once a claim is approved, bill the same costs onward with our free invoice generator — also 100% in-browser.

🚫 No watermark, no account

Your claim carries zero generator branding. No trial clock, no email capture, no limits on how many claims you make.

Straight talk: limits

📝 A form, not an approval system

This tool makes clean claim PDFs; it does not submit claims, store receipts or talk to your payroll system. Attach your receipts yourself when you send it.

⚖️ Not tax advice

What is claimable, and at what rate, depends on your employer policy and your country's tax rules. Check both; this tool records expenses, it does not rule on them.

💾 Save your PDFs

Because nothing is uploaded, nothing is stored for you either. Download each claim before leaving the page and file it in your own records.

Expense Claim Form Maker FAQ

Is this expense claim maker really free?

Yes — unlimited claim forms, every field, PDF download, forever. No trial, no watermark, no account, no payment details. It runs entirely in your browser.

How is mileage calculated?

Enter the miles driven and your mileage rate (the UK default is 45p per mile for the first 10,000 business miles, per HMRC's 2025/26 Approved Mileage Allowance Payments). The mileage amount is miles × rate, and it is added to your claim total.

Do I need to sign up or give my email?

No. The generator works the moment the page loads. There is no account and no email capture — which also means the form clears if you refresh, so download your PDF before leaving.

Where is my expense data stored?

Only in this browser tab while you type. The PDF is assembled on your own device with a JavaScript PDF library — your name, employer and spending are never uploaded to any server.

Can I claim in euros or dollars?

Yes. Choose EUR, USD, GBP or CHF; totals and the grand total update live in the currency you pick.

Will the claim look professional enough to send to payroll?

Yes. The PDF is a true A4 document with your details, the claim period, an itemised table, category subtotals, a grand total and a signature line — with no generator branding.

Can I reuse it every month?

Yes. Change the claim period, replace the rows, and download a fresh PDF. Use the copy-link button to save a link with your details pre-filled for next month.

This tool vs server-upload tools

Most online PDF tools upload your file to a remote server, process it there, and only then let you download the result — which means a copy of your document sits on someone else's machine, governed by their retention policy. This tool inverts that: the PDF is assembled by JavaScript running on your own device, so nothing is ever transmitted. You can verify it yourself by opening your browser's Network tab while generating a PDF — you will see no upload request. That is why browser-only tools are the safer choice for anything containing personal, financial or academic information, and why our safety guide recommends them. The trade-off is honest too: because nothing is stored for you, you must download each PDF before leaving the page.
