IRS Standard Mileage Rates

Official rates set annually by the Internal Revenue Service for business vehicle use. Updated each January.

The IRS standard mileage rate is used to calculate the deductible cost of operating a vehicle for business, charity, or medical purposes. Employers may also use this rate when reimbursing employees for business driving — reimbursements at or below this rate are not taxable.

How Mileage Reimbursement Works

01

Track Your Business Miles

Keep a contemporaneous record of every business trip: date, starting point, destination, business purpose, and miles driven. The IRS requires this documentation.

02

Multiply by the IRS Rate

Multiply total business miles by the current IRS standard mileage rate ($0.70 for 2026). Employers paying at or below this rate do not owe payroll tax on reimbursements.

03

Submit or Deduct

Employees submit mileage logs to their employer for reimbursement. Self-employed individuals claim the deduction on Schedule C of their federal tax return.

The IRS standard mileage rate for 2026 is $0.70 per mile for business use. This is the same rate as 2025. The rate is used to calculate deductible vehicle costs for self-employed individuals and tax-free reimbursements for employees.
Mileage reimbursement is NOT taxable if it does not exceed the IRS standard mileage rate ($0.70/mile for 2026) and the employee provides adequate records under an accountable plan. Any reimbursement above $0.70/mile is considered taxable wages and must be reported on your W-2.
Simply multiply the number of documented business miles by the IRS rate: Miles × $0.70 = Reimbursement. For example, 500 miles × $0.70 = $350.00. Our calculator above handles this instantly for any time period. Employees must keep a mileage log documenting the date, destination, business purpose, and miles for each trip.
Yes. Self-employed individuals (sole proprietors, freelancers, contractors) can deduct business miles using the IRS standard mileage rate on Schedule C. For 2026, that's $0.70 per business mile. You must maintain a contemporaneous mileage log to substantiate the deduction if audited.
The IRS requires a contemporaneous written record for each business trip that includes: the date of the trip, the origin and destination, the business purpose, and the number of miles driven. Use our Mileage Log Generator above to create an IRS-compliant log you can print or save.
If you are an employee reimbursed at or below the IRS rate under an accountable plan, you do not report it — it won't appear on your W-2. If you are self-employed, you claim the deduction on Schedule C, which reduces your self-employment income and therefore your taxes.
