Business Mileage Calculator

Estimate your business mileage reimbursement and trip cost based on distance, rate per mile, and number of trips.

Your Details

Is each trip a round trip?

Choose yes if the distance entered is one-way and should be doubled for each trip.

Overview

Use this Business Mileage Calculator to estimate total business miles and the value of those miles based on your reimbursement rate. Enter the miles driven per trip, number of trips, whether the journey is round trip, and any parking or toll costs to get a quick estimate.

How it works

The calculator multiplies the distance per trip by the number of trips and adjusts for round trips where needed. It then applies your rate per mile to estimate the mileage amount and adds parking and tolls to show a total reimbursement estimate.

Total business mileage

If each trip is 30 miles one way, 10 round trips would total 600 business miles. At 0.67 per mile, the mileage amount would be about 402.00, and with 25.00 in parking and tolls, the total estimate would be about 427.00.
