Current 2022 (Jul 1-Dec 31) IRS mileage categories
Business and self-employed business
62.5 cents per mi for ordinary business travel. This is the rate most employers benchmark when they reimburse employees for using a personal car on work trips.
Medical and moving
22.0 cents per mi for qualified medical travel and 22.0 cents per mi for eligible active-duty moving travel. The calculator keeps this separate because the IRS rate is much lower than the business category. See our medical mileage guide for details on the 7.5% AGI floor.
Charitable
14.0 cents per mi for mileage tied to qualified charitable service. This rate is set by statute and has not changed since 1998. See our charitable mileage article for why.

Common questions
Can I use this calculator for both employer reimbursement and tax deductions?
Yes. The IRS standard rates apply to both employee reimbursements and self-employed tax deductions. Employers use the business rate for tax-free expense plans, while freelancers and contractors use the same rate to calculate deductible vehicle expenses on Schedule C.
Does this calculator use the latest IRS rate for 2022 (Jul 1-Dec 31)?
Yes. The default year uses the 2022 (Jul 1-Dec 31) IRS rates stored in the rate catalog, and the result block links back to the underlying IRS source used for the estimate.
Are gas, maintenance, and insurance added separately?
Not in the standard mileage method. The IRS mileage rate is meant to stand in for the ordinary costs of operating the vehicle. Parking and tolls can still be tracked separately when the underlying rule allows them.
Can I include daily commute miles in my calculation?
No. Routine commuting between your home and primary workplace is never reimbursable or tax-deductible under IRS rules. Only travel between separate job sites, client visits, temporary work locations, or qualified medical/charitable trips should be entered.
What documentation do I need after calculating my estimate?
To claim your reimbursement or tax deduction, you must maintain a contemporaneous mileage log recording trip dates, destinations, business purpose, and mileage. Submit your log alongside a standard mileage reimbursement form to your employer or retain it for your tax records.
