What is the IRS standard mileage rate for 2025?

For 2025 the IRS standard mileage rates are 70¢ per mile for business, 21¢ per mile for medical and (Armed Forces) moving, and 14¢ per mile for charitable driving (IRS Notice 2025-5).

Why is the charitable mileage rate only 14 cents?

The 14¢/mile charitable rate is fixed by Congress in the tax code (IRC §170(i)). Unlike the business and medical rates, the IRS has no authority to adjust it for inflation, so it has remained at 14¢ for many years. 1,000 charitable miles = $140.00.

Can W-2 employees deduct unreimbursed mileage?

Generally no. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act suspended unreimbursed employee business expenses (a miscellaneous 2%-of-AGI itemized deduction) for 2018 through 2025 (IRC §67(g)). Exceptions include Armed Forces reservists, qualified performing artists, and fee-basis state/local government officials. The self-employed are unaffected.

Standard mileage rate or actual expenses — which is better?

The standard mileage rate is simpler and often better for fuel-efficient cars with high mileage; the actual-expense method (depreciation, lease, gas, repairs, insurance × business-use %) can be larger for expensive vehicles. If you want the option to switch later, use the standard rate in the first business year for that vehicle.

Charitable Mileage Rate Calculator 2025

Miles you drive while volunteering for a qualified charity are deductible at a flat 14¢/mile set by statute (IRC §170(i)) — the IRS cannot adjust it for inflation, which is why it has stayed at 14¢ for decades. For 2025 the IRS standard mileage rates are 70¢/mile for business, 21¢/mile for medical and (Armed Forces) moving, and 14¢/mile for charitable driving (IRS Notice 2025-5).

Enter your miles below and pick the purpose and tax year. The calculator multiplies your miles by the official IRS cents-per-mile rate and shows the dollar deduction (or reimbursement). Everything runs in your browser — no miles, amounts, or personal data are transmitted.

Important: These are the IRS standard mileage rates. You can instead deduct actual vehicle expenses, but you generally must choose the standard rate in the first year you use a car for business to keep that option later. Verify the current figure against IRS Notice 2025-5 on irs.gov.
