Mileage Calculator
Calculate a mileage reimbursement amount from distance and a rate per mile.
For work travel reimbursement or expense tracking, mileage cost is simply distance driven multiplied by your rate per mile — a quick calculation once you know both numbers.
Where the standard mileage rate comes from
Many organizations use a standard rate (in the US, often based on the IRS's published business mileage rate, which is updated periodically) rather than tracking actual fuel, maintenance, and depreciation costs individually — check your specific employer or organization's policy for the exact rate to use.
Frequently asked questions
Does mileage reimbursement cover fuel plus wear and tear?
Yes — standard mileage rates are intended to cover the full cost of vehicle use, including fuel, maintenance, insurance, and depreciation, not just gas.
Is mileage reimbursement taxable income?
In the US, reimbursement at or below the IRS standard rate is generally not considered taxable income — check current tax guidance for specifics relevant to your situation.
