- Rate per mile: the IRS standard mileage rate for the purpose and period you pick, or your own rate.
- Mileage amount = miles driven × rate per mile.
- Reimbursement = mileage amount + parking and tolls.
Money shows to the cent and the rate to a tenth of a cent, rounded half up.
The IRS rates, in cents per mile:

When the data is out of date
The table covers January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026. After December 31, 2026 the page keeps using the July to December 2026 rates as its default and says so above the result, until the table gets the next year’s rates. For driving after 2026, check the IRS page for the current rate and pick “My own rate”.
