How Is Mileage Reimbursement Calculated?
The Mileage Reimbursement Formula
The basic calculation is simple:
Business miles × mileage rate = mileage reimbursement
For example, 500 business miles at a $0.70 mileage rate would equal $350 in mileage reimbursement.
Federal Mileage Rate
The federal mileage rate is the standard mileage rate published by the IRS for qualifying business use of a vehicle. Mileage rates can change, so use the rate that applies to the period you’re claiming.
Mileage Reimbursement vs. Mileage Deduction
Mileage reimbursement is money paid to cover qualifying business driving expenses. A mileage deduction is a tax deduction that may apply in certain situations. They’re not the same thing.
Mileage Rate vs. Car Allowance
A mileage rate reimburses based on qualifying miles driven, while a car allowance is generally a fixed amount paid toward vehicle expenses. Your company’s reimbursement policy determines which approach applies.
