Automatic calculation
One rate per mile sounds simple. Adding up three hundred trips, by purpose, by year, is not.
What gets calculated
For every trip, Kilevo knows the mileage and the purpose. It applies the IRS rate for that purpose and that year, then totals the year. For 2026, business miles are worth 70 cents each.
Business, medical, moving and charitable rates all differ. They are listed on the 2026 IRS mileage rate page.
Each year keeps its own rate
A 2024 trip stays valued at the 2024 rate, even when you look at it today. When the IRS raises the rate — as it did for 2026, from 70 to 70 cents — only that year's trips move.
Nothing to update, and nothing to remember.
Business, medical, charitable
The purpose changes the rate, and the gap is wide: 70 cents for business, 14 cents for charitable work. Kilevo keeps them apart rather than blending everything into one number that no examiner would accept.
Commuting is not deducted
Kilevo imports every meeting that has a location, including the drive to your regular office. You exclude it with one click. It stays visible; it stops counting.
Which drives qualify is settled on the business miles vs commuting page. The distinction is the first thing an examiner reads, and no software can make it for you.
Distances come from Google Maps
They are computed between your start address and the meeting location. They are not estimates — but they are only as good as the address you typed.
An incomplete address produces nonsense mileage. The calendar sync page explains why, and how to avoid it. You can always override a distance by hand.
What the calculation will not do
It will not decide which drives were business. Kilevo imports everything with a location; you exclude what should not count. The truthfulness of the log stays yours — which is exactly what makes it defensible.
