Rate history
Standard mileage rates, 2024–2026
The IRS sets the business standard mileage rate each year based on a study of fixed and variable vehicle costs. 2026 is only the third time in 15 years the rate has changed mid-year.
What that means for you: each trip must be valued at the rate in effect on the day you drove it. A single blended rate will be wrong — and a log without dates can't be fixed.
| Period | Business rate |
|---|---|
| Jan 1 – Dec 31, 2024 | 67¢ /mi |
| Jan 1 – Dec 31, 2025 | 70¢ /mi |
| Jan 1 – Jun 30, 2026 | 72.5¢ /mi |
| Jul 1 – Dec 31, 2026 | 76¢ /mi |
