The rate per mile is 76 divided by 100, which is $0.76, and the amount is 1,000 times $0.76, which is $760.00. With 100 miles in the miles box and trips of 12.5, 30 and 8.25 miles at 72.5 cents, total miles are 150.75, and 150.75 times $0.725 is $109.29. ## What is the IRS standard mileage rate for 2026? The IRS lists 76 cents a mile for business use from July 1 to December 31, 2026, and 72.5 cents a mile from January 1 to June 30, 2026. The IRS page was read on November 1, 2026. Rates change, so check the IRS page linked below before you rely on one. ## Do I have to use the IRS rate to reimburse mileage? No. The IRS rate is an optional standard that taxpayers can use to work out a deduction, and an employer can reimburse a higher or lower rate. Some places also set their own rules for expense reimbursement. Type any rate into the rate box, in cents per mile, to see the amount. ## How do I add up miles from several trips? Type each trip's miles on its own line in the trips box. The calculator adds them to anything in the miles box, then multiplies the total by the rate. Ten trips of 12.5 miles is 125 miles, and 125 miles at 76 cents is $95.00. Keep a log with the date and purpose of each trip. ## Is this tax advice? No. The calculator only multiplies miles by a rate. Whether you can deduct mileage, which rate applies to you and what records you need are questions for a tax professional or the IRS. The mileage log template on this site helps you note the date, purpose and miles of each trip as you go. ## Put the numbers on paper - [Mileage log template](https://pdfinish.com/templates/mileage-log): record the date, purpose and miles of each trip as you drive. - [Freelance invoice template](https://pdfinish.com/templates/invoice-freelance): bill mileage to a client as a line on the invoice. - [Invoice due date calculator](https://pdfinish.com/invoice-due-date-calculator): find when the invoice is due. - [Hourly rate calculator](https://pdfinish.com/hourly-rate-calculator): work out what to charge for your time as well as your miles. - [PDF tools and templates for freelancers](https://pdfinish.com/for-freelancers): everything for invoices, quotes and agreements in one place. - [All business calculators](https://pdfinish.com/calculators): the full list of free calculators. ## Where the numbers come from - [IRS: Standard mileage rates](https://www.irs.gov/tax-professionals/standard-mileage-rates), read November 1, 2026.
