IRS Mileage & Tax Deduction Calculator
Calculate mileage tax deduction estimates and employer reimbursements using clearly dated standard rates.
The IRS optional standard mileage rate converts qualifying vehicle miles into a substantiated expense amount. It does not by itself establish that a trip is deductible.
- Key formula: Mileage value = eligible miles × selected per-mile rate. Estimated tax savings applies a selected marginal rate and is not a refund forecast.
