Mileage reimbursement in India

India has no statutory per-kilometre rate — reimbursement follows your employer’s policy (commonly ₹8–₹15/km for cars). Payments against actual business travel are tax-exempt under Section 10(14) of the Income Tax Act ifyou keep a logbook with date, route, purpose, and distance. Enter your company’s rate in the calculator and keep the log — the free mileage log template has the right columns.

How to calculate mileage reimbursement

Multiply business distance by the applicable rate. US: miles × the IRS rate for your purpose. UK: split miles across the 10,000-mile bands first (55p, then 25p for cars), add 5p per passenger-mile if you carried colleagues. India: kilometres × your employer’s rate. Keep the per-trip log either way — the rate gets you paid, the log keeps it tax-free.

Frequently asked questions

What is the 2026 IRS mileage rate?
For 2026 the IRS standard mileage rates are 72.5 cents per mile for business use, 20.5 cents for medical or moving purposes, and 14 cents for charitable driving (IRS Notice 2026-10, effective 1 January 2026).
What is the HMRC mileage rate for 2026/27?
HMRC's approved mileage allowance payments (AMAP) for 2026/27 are 55p per mile for the first 10,000 business miles in the tax year and 25p per mile after that for cars and vans — plus 24p for motorcycles, 20p for bicycles, and an optional 5p per passenger per mile. The 55p figure is an increase from 45p, confirmed on gov.uk in May 2026.
How do I calculate mileage reimbursement?
Multiply your business distance by the applicable rate. In the US that's miles × the IRS rate for your purpose. In the UK, the first 10,000 business miles in the tax year use the higher band (55p for cars) and miles beyond that use 25p, so you need your year-to-date total. In India there's no statutory rate — use your employer's ₹/km policy. This calculator handles the band split and the math for all three.
Is mileage reimbursement taxable?
Generally no, when paid at or below the official rate: US reimbursements under an accountable plan at the IRS rate are tax-free; UK payments up to the AMAP amounts are tax-free (and if your employer pays less, you can claim Mileage Allowance Relief on the difference); in India, reimbursement of actual business travel is exempt under Section 10(14) of the Income Tax Act provided you keep a logbook. Amounts above the official rates are taxable income.
Is there a standard mileage rate in India?
No — India has no statutory per-kilometre rate. Companies set their own policy (commonly ₹8–₹15/km for cars). What matters for tax is the documentation: keep a logbook with date, route, purpose, and distance so the reimbursement stays exempt under Section 10(14).
