Turning Miles Into a Reimbursement Number
Whether you are an employer building a policy or a driver logging business miles, a mileage reimbursement is just miles times a rate. This calculator does that math and shows the monthly average. Enter the exact rate your organization uses.
Pick the right rate
Rates differ by purpose. Employers set their own, and the IRS publishes a standard business rate each year that is often used as a benchmark. Because that rate is updated annually, always enter the current value rather than a number from a previous year.
What the rate is supposed to cover
A per-mile rate is meant to capture the variable cost of driving - fuel, wear, maintenance, and depreciation. Fixed costs like insurance and registration are not included, and neither are tolls or parking, which are normally handled separately.
Tracking cleanly
Keep a log of date, purpose, and miles for any reimbursed or deducted driving. A simple spreadsheet or mileage app makes the total easy to drop into this calculator at the end of the period.

How the math works
Reimbursement = business miles × a per-mile rate. The IRS publishes an annual standard mileage rate for businesses; employers may use their own rate. Always apply the current year's IRS figure, which changes each January.
How to use this calculator
- Enter your business miles for the period.
- Enter the rate — use the current IRS standard mileage rate or your employer's approved rate.
- Read the reimbursement total and keep a mileage log for records.
