The 2026 mileage rate is $.725/mile
With rising gas prices, is the 2026 IRS mileage rate still the best option?
The standard mileage rate may not be the most cost-effective reimbursement method for your business:
- Over-reimburses high-mileage drivers by up to 51% of their actual expenses.
- Under reimburses lower mileage employees 41% less than their actual expenses.
- In most states, you are not obligated to pay the IRS mileage.
