What this mileage reimbursement calculator does
This calculator finds your mileage reimbursement. You enter a rate per mile and the miles. The tool then multiplies the two. So you get the amount you are owed. It works for any rate you set. The result is shown in your currency.
What mileage reimbursement is
Mileage reimbursement pays you back for driving. It covers the cost of using your car. That includes fuel, wear, and upkeep. So a per-mile rate stands in for those costs. Employers often pay it for work trips. It saves tracking every single expense.
How it is calculated
The tool takes your rate per mile. It multiplies that by the miles driven. So more miles mean a bigger payment. A higher rate also lifts the total. The result is your reimbursement. The calculator works it out for you.
What the result tells you

The miles driven
Your miles driven is the distance you covered. Count only the miles that qualify. More miles mean a bigger payment. So the distance drives the result. Use a log to track them well. Round trips count both ways. Enter your miles driven.
The standard mileage rate
Many payers use a standard rate each year. A tax agency sets it to reflect costs. It bundles fuel, wear, and upkeep together. So you need not track each cost alone. The rate can change from year to year. Using it keeps reimbursement simple. Check the current rate before you file.
Business versus personal miles
