Understanding Business Mileage and Reimbursement

What is Business Mileage?

Business mileage refers to the distance traveled in your personal vehicle for business purposes. This includes travel to client meetings, business conferences, sales calls, and other work-related activities.

The IRS allows businesses and self-employed individuals to deduct these miles using either the standard mileage rate method or the actual expense method.

Why Track Mileage?

Key Benefits:

• Tax Deductions: Reduce taxable income
• Expense Reimbursement: Get paid back for business travel
• Audit Protection: Maintain proper documentation
• Cost Analysis: Understand true business expenses

Mileage Calculation Formula

• Total Distance = One-way Distance × Trip Type Multiplier

• Reimbursement = Total Distance × Mileage Rate

• One-way Trip: Multiplier = 1

• Round Trip: Multiplier = 2
