Compute business mileage reimbursement with the IRS 2026 rate. To use the Mileage Reimbursement Calculator, enter miles driven, purpose; it returns reimbursement, rate per mile, and shows them instantly as you type.
Where the Mileage Reimbursement Calculator fits
Compute business mileage reimbursement with the IRS 2026 rate. The main figure it returns is the Reimbursement, worked out from the values you enter.
It belongs with the other tax & salary tools. If you are comparing options or checking a result from another angle, try the California Sales Tax Calculator, Sales Tax Calculator New Jersey or the Ohio Sales Tax Calculator.
How to use the Mileage Reimbursement Calculator
- Enter your numbers. The inputs are Miles driven. Use the tax year and filing status that apply to you, and gross figures unless a field says otherwise. Fields marked optional can stay at zero.
- Choose your options. Purpose change how the result is worked out, and the form updates to match your choice.
- Read the result. The highlighted box gives the Reimbursement, and the cards below show Rate per mile. Tables and charts break it down further.
- Test other scenarios. Results update as you type. Change one value at a time to see what drives the answer, and press Reset to go back to the defaults.
Formula and how it works
Example with real numbers
Here is the Mileage Reimbursement Calculator using the default values shown in the calculator above:
Inputs
| Miles driven | 1,200 |
|---|---|
| Purpose | Business (72.5¢) |
Results
| Reimbursement | $870.00 |
|---|---|
| Rate per mile | $0.73 |
With these inputs the calculator returns Reimbursement: $870.00. Change any value in the calculator to see how the result moves.
What if you change one input?
Sensitivity check: raising Miles driven from 1,200 to 1,440 (about 20% higher) and leaving everything else as in the example above changes the results like this:
| Result | Example | After the change | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reimbursement | $870.00 | $1,044.00 | +20% |
| Rate per mile | $0.73 | $0.73 | 0% |
The input that moves the result most is the one to check twice. Change it in the calculator above to test your own case.
What the results tell you
The results panel of the Mileage Reimbursement Calculator reports Reimbursement and rate per mile. Compare these figures while changing one input at a time, and use the related calculators below to look at the same situation from another angle.
Method and limits. This calculator applies the formula in the section above to your inputs, in your browser; nothing you enter is stored on our servers. Tax rules change every year and depend on your full situation (state, filing status, credits), so treat the result as an estimate and confirm it with the IRS or a tax professional. It is for information, not financial, tax or legal advice.
