Enter miles driven and a rate in cents per mile. 1,200 business miles at the 76 cent rate is $912.00.

How the mileage reimbursement calculator works

The IRS publishes standard mileage rates that businesses often use to reimburse employees and that self-employed people can use to deduct business driving. Multiply your business miles by the rate. The rates below come from the IRS standard mileage rates page: business 72.5 cents for 1 January to 30 June 2026 and 76 cents for 1 July to 31 December 2026, medical 23.5 cents from 1 July, and charitable 14 cents.

The formulas

Reimbursement = Miles x Rate per mile
Cents to dollars: divide the rate by 100

Example: 1,200 business miles at 76 cents a mile is $912.00. Adding parking and tolls of $0 leaves it at $912.00. Each 100 miles is worth $76.00.

Notes and limits

  • Keep a mileage log with the date, miles and business purpose.
  • Commuting from home to a regular workplace generally does not count.
  • Rates change, so confirm the current figures on irs.gov and ask a tax professional about your case.
