IRS standard mileage rates for 2026

  • Business: 72.5 cents per mile
  • Medical and moving (moving only for certain members of the Armed Forces and intelligence community): 20.5 cents per mile
  • Charitable work: 14 cents per mile

Employers often reimburse at the IRS business rate, but they can choose another rate. Pick "Custom rate" and enter it.

Reimbursement = miles per trip × number of trips × rate per mile

Worked example

Ten business trips of 120 miles are 1,200 miles. At 72.5 cents that is $870. A car doing 28 mpg uses about 43 gallons for those miles — around $146 at $3.40 a gallon. The rest of the rate is meant to cover insurance, maintenance, tires and depreciation.

Keep a mileage log

For taxes or reimbursement you generally need a record of the date, destination, business purpose and miles of each trip. Commuting between home and your regular workplace is usually not deductible business mileage. For tax decisions, check IRS guidance or a tax professional.
