💡 A Good Mileage Log Can Save You Hundreds in Taxes

At the 2025 rate of $0.70/mile, just 1,000 business miles a year is a $700 tax deduction. An employee driving 10,000 business miles/year can claim up to $7,000 unreimbursed (or receive $7,000 tax-free reimbursement). The IRS requires contemporaneous records — log each trip at the time it happens, not from memory at year-end.

✅ What Counts as Business Mileage

Qualifies: client/customer visits, travel between work locations, business meetings, conferences, supply runs, temporary work sites, job-related errands.

Does NOT qualify: commuting from home to your regular workplace — the most commonly misunderstood exclusion — personal errands, vacation or personal travel. For remote workers, traveling to a co-working space or a client's office typically qualifies; a plain "home office" commute typically does not.

⚖️ Standard Rate vs Actual Expenses

Standard mileage rate: simple — no need to track gas, insurance, or repairs. Usually better for high-mileage, average-cost vehicles.

Actual expense method: track and deduct real vehicle operating costs × business-use percentage. Usually better for high-cost or high-fuel-cost vehicles. Calculate both and choose the higher deduction — but you must choose standard rate in the first year to keep the option to switch later.

How to Calculate Mileage Reimbursement

Mileage reimbursement is calculated by multiplying the miles driven for a qualifying purpose by the applicable rate per mile. The IRS sets standard rates each year that serve as the benchmark for both tax deductions and employer reimbursements.

Basic Reimbursement Formula

Reimbursement = Miles × Rate ($/mile) 2025 rates: Business $0.70/mi · Medical $0.21/mi · Charitable $0.14/mi Examples: 150 business mi × $0.70 = $105.00 | 50 medical mi × $0.21 = $10.50 | 100 charitable mi × $0.14 = $14.00 Monthly example: 20 mi/day × 20 days = 400 mi/month × $0.70 = $280/month

Annual Mileage Cost Calculation

Annual fuel cost = (Annual Miles ÷ MPG) × Gas Price Annual deductible value = Annual Miles × $0.70 Example: 15,000 mi/year, 30 MPG, $3.50/gal → fuel cost = 15,000 ÷ 30 × $3.50 = $1,750 vs deduction/reimbursement value = 15,000 × $0.70 = $10,500 The standard rate is often more favorable than actual expenses for average-cost vehicles driving 12,000-20,000 mi/year.

Miles to Kilometers Conversion

1 mile = 1.60934 km | 1 km = 0.621371 miles Examples: 100 miles = 160.9 km | 100 km ≈ 62.1 miles Quick reference: Marathon 26.2 mi = 42.2 km | Half 13.1 mi = 21.1 km | 5K = 3.1 mi
