Mileage deduction calculator
Turn your business miles into a Schedule C line 9 estimate, and see your business-use percentage.
Mileage Log 2027
Log every trip with the IRS rate by date.
How the math works
Line 9 = business miles × standard rate + business parking and tolls. Example: 252.6 miles × $0.76 + $20 parking = $211.98. Business-use % = business miles ÷ total miles: 252.6 ÷ 1,250 = 20.2%. Medical (23.5¢) and charitable (14¢) miles only help if you itemize.
What is the IRS mileage rate for 2027?
The IRS usually publishes it in December. Until then this calculator uses 76¢, the latest published business rate (IRS Announcement 2026-11).
Do commuting miles count?
No. Driving from home to a regular workplace is commuting. Trips between work locations, to clients or to the post office for the business count.
What records do I need?
A log made at or near the time of each trip: date, destination, business purpose and miles.
