IRS standard mileage rates

Every rate change since 2019, from the same table the app uses. The business rate is what most employers reimburse and what the self-employed deduct per mile.

How the rates work

The IRS sets the business and medical rates each December for the following year, and occasionally changes them mid-year when fuel prices move sharply (as in July 2022 and July 2026). The charity rate is set by statute at 14 cents and has not changed. A trip is priced at the rate in effect on the day it was driven, so a log that spans a change needs both rates.

Employers are not required to reimburse at the IRS rate; many do because reimbursement up to that rate is not taxable income to the employee. The self-employed may deduct business miles at the standard rate instead of tracking actual vehicle costs.

In the app

Mileagetastic prices every trip at the rate for its date and downloads this table about once a day, so a rate change needs no app update. Settings lets you set your own rate for any purpose instead, for an employer that reimburses at a different figure.

Mileagetastic does not give tax advice. Ask a tax professional what you may deduct or claim.

Let the app do the per-day arithmetic

Every trip gets the rate for its date, including mid-year changes. The report totals it.
