For 2025: business miles × $0.70. The result is rounded to the cent and stays in your browser: nothing you type is saved or sent.

FAQ
What is the IRS mileage rate for 2026?
For business driving the IRS standard mileage rate is 72.5¢ per mile from Jan 1 – Jun 30, 2026, and 76¢ per mile from Jul 1 – Dec 31, 2026. The IRS raised the business rate for the second half of 2026 because of higher fuel prices. For 2025 it was 70¢ per mile.
Why does 2026 have two mileage rates?
The IRS raised the business rate for the second half of 2026 because of higher fuel prices. Miles in each part of the year use that part's rate (Jan–Jun: 72.5¢, Jul–Dec: 76¢), so you need to know how many business miles fall in each. This calculator asks for each one.
Which miles count as business miles?
Driving between work places, to clients or customers, to pick up supplies, and other trips for your business. Commuting between your home and your regular place of work does not count.
What records does the IRS expect for mileage?
A log kept at the time of each trip: the date, where you went, the business reason and the miles. Keep it with your receipts for the year.
Can I use the standard mileage rate and also deduct gas?
No. The standard mileage rate already covers gas, oil, repairs and depreciation. You choose either the standard rate or your actual car expenses. Parking fees and tolls for business trips can be added separately.
