Mileage Reimbursement Calculator
Multiply your miles by a rate per mile. We deliberately don't pre-fill a rate: the IRS standard mileage rate changes yearly (and occasionally mid-year), and many employers set their own. Look up the current IRS rate at irs.gov, or use the rate your employer publishes.
The IRS sets a new standard mileage rate each year and has adjusted it mid-year before. Search "IRS standard mileage rates" or go to irs.gov for the figure that applies to your dates of travel. Employers aren't required to use the IRS rate — yours may reimburse more or less. This is arithmetic, not tax advice; how mileage interacts with your taxes depends on your situation.
How this is calculated
Reimbursement = miles driven × rate per mile. That's the whole calculation.
Enter the rate in dollars: 65 cents per mile is 0.65. If your trip log is in kilometers, convert to miles first (kilometers × 0.621).
Common questions
What rate should I use?
If your employer reimburses mileage, use the rate they publish. If you're figuring a business deduction, use the IRS standard mileage rate for the year (and portion of the year) you drove — it's on irs.gov.
Why doesn't this page show the current IRS rate?
Because it changes — annually, and sometimes mid-year — and a stale rate presented as current would give you wrong answers. Checking irs.gov takes a minute and gets you the right number.
Does commuting count?
Under IRS rules, ordinary commuting between home and your regular workplace generally doesn't qualify as business mileage. Employer policies can differ for reimbursement purposes. When it matters, confirm with a tax professional.
Do I need a mileage log?
For tax deductions, yes — the IRS expects records of dates, miles and business purpose. For employer reimbursement, follow whatever documentation your employer requires.
