What this does

A mileage deduction calculator works out your standard-mileage tax deduction for business, medical, moving, or charitable driving using the current IRS rates.

How it works

Each category has its own per-mile rate. Multiplying your qualifying miles by that rate gives the deduction. The standard rate bundles fuel, repairs, and depreciation into one figure.

Deduction = miles × IRS rate

How to use it

  1. Choose the driving category.
  2. Enter your qualifying miles.
  3. Read your standard-mileage deduction.
  4. Keep a contemporaneous mileage log.

Understanding your result

The standard rate is simplest, but tracking actual costs sometimes yields a larger deduction, you generally choose one method. The IRS requires a log of dates, miles, and purpose.

Example

At the 2025 business rate of 70¢, 5,000 business miles is a $3,500 deduction.
