Reimbursement$67.00
This mileage calculator works out vehicle reimbursement by multiplying the miles you drove by a per-mile rate, defaulting to the IRS standard business rate of $0.67 per mile. Enter your distance and, if needed, a custom rate to see the dollar amount owed. It is handy for employees claiming travel, contractors billing clients, or anyone tracking deductible business miles.
Formula
reimbursement = miles × ratePerMile
- miles
- Total distance driven, in miles
- ratePerMile
- Reimbursement rate in dollars per mile (default $0.67)
- reimbursement
- Amount owed in dollars, rounded to the cent
How it works
- Enter the number of miles driven.
- Enter the rate per mile in dollars, or leave the default $0.67 IRS standard rate in place.
- The calculator multiplies miles by the rate and rounds to the nearest cent to give the reimbursement amount.
Worked example
Claim reimbursement for 100 business miles at the standard $0.67 rate.
- Multiply distance by rate: 100 × 0.67 = 67.
- The result is already in whole dollars and cents.
Reimbursement = $67.00.
Frequently asked questions
- What rate does this calculator use?
- It defaults to $0.67 per mile, the IRS standard business mileage rate used in recent tax years. You can override it with any rate, such as your employer's policy rate or a different year's figure.
- Is the IRS mileage rate the same every year?
- No. The IRS updates the standard mileage rate periodically to reflect fuel and vehicle costs. Check the current published rate for the year you are claiming and enter it in the rate field if it differs from the default.
- Does this calculate fuel cost or just reimbursement?
- It calculates reimbursement, which is distance times a flat per-mile rate that already bundles fuel, maintenance, and depreciation. To estimate pure fuel spending, use a fuel cost or gas mileage calculator instead.
- Can I use this for medical or charitable mileage?
- Yes, by entering the appropriate rate. The IRS sets lower separate rates for medical, moving, and charitable driving, so replace the default business rate with the correct one for your purpose.
