Propane Expense Tracker
Track What You Spend on Propane — Deliveries, Refills, and Price Per Gallon
PropanePal gives you a clear financial picture of your propane costs. Log what each delivery costs, see how your price per gallon has changed over time, and review your total propane spending across all tanks and properties.
Cost tracking
Log the Full Cost of Every Delivery or Refill
Propane delivery invoices often include more than just the propane price — they may add a fuel surcharge, a hazmat fee, a delivery fee, or a minimum order charge. PropanePal lets you log these separately so you can see exactly what you're paying for and track true cost per gallon over time.
When you log a delivery, enter the total gallons delivered, the base propane cost, and any additional fees as a separate line. PropanePal calculates two cost-per-gallon figures: the base price per gallon and the all-in price per gallon including fees. Both are stored in your history.
- Log total delivery cost and separate fees
- Base $/gal and all-in $/gal calculated automatically
- Track costs across multiple suppliers
- Notes field for invoice numbers or other details
Spending summary
See Your Total Propane Bill at a Glance
PropanePal aggregates your delivery and refill costs into a spending summary. See your total propane spending for the current year, the previous year, or all time. For rental property owners, Airbnb hosts, and farmers, this kind of summary makes it easy to document propane as a business expense.
Spending is tracked per tank, so you can see exactly how much each property's propane has cost. If you have a home tank, a cabin tank, and a generator tank, you can see the spending for each one separately — useful for property-level accounting or when comparing the cost of different heating options.
- Total spending by year, month, or all time
- Per-tank and per-property breakdowns
- Price per gallon trend across deliveries
- Complete history for tax documentation
