About
Coulto is the operating environment for freelancers who work on day rates: location managers, crew, contractors trading through a limited company or as a sole trader.
Your contract becomes the rules. Paste or upload the deal memo and Coulto reads the rate, hours, overtime, 6th and 7th day terms, turnaround, allowances and expenses. Every field can be overridden by hand.
Your timesheet becomes the invoice. Enter call and wrap for each day (or upload the production's timesheet) and Coulto works out the most you can claim under that job's rules: overtime, camera overtime, broken turnaround, missed meals, night uplifts, public holidays, per diems, allowances, holiday pay. Fee invoices and expense invoices are separate; fuel can be claimed by receipt, by mpg and miles, or by mileage rate; receipts attach to any line.
Every payment shows what is HMRC's and what is yours. Coulto splits each invoice into VAT, corporation tax, PAYE and National Insurance, dividend tax, running costs and what you can actually take home, and shows what to put aside this week. It flags dividend headroom, higher-rate thresholds and the effect of taking more or less out. Quarterly VAT figures (standard or flat rate) and a year-end pack are ready for your accountant.
Rate check: is the offer fair, and what should you ask for? Upload the offer letter and see it against the rule packs (PACT/BECTU TV Drama and Major Motion Picture, APA, BBC/ITV).
Sign in on the web or in the app; your data syncs across devices and is protected by row-level security. A read-only share link lets your accountant see the numbers.
Coulto is correct to the best of our knowledge but is not financial, tax or legal advice. If in doubt, consult a qualified accountant. Made by Patient Thread Ltd.

What's New in Coulto
1.0.2
October 17, 2026
Reading your deal memo properly. - Upload an editable PDF and Coulto now reads the boxes someone typed in, not just the printed page: box rental, allowances, your amended night start time. - Contract reading no longer needs a key of your own. Sign in on Pro or Company and it just works. - A new table shows every rule in force for a job and where it came from, so you can see at a glance what came from your contract and what is still an app default. - Clearer uploads: you see the file name, then each step as it is read. - Paste a screenshot of a timesheet straight in. - Save and Reset buttons, and a five-hour inactivity sign-out. - Easier to read throughout, and bigger touch targets on phones.
