What is the IRS standard mileage rate for 2026?

The IRS standard mileage rate for business driving is 72.5 cents per mile from January 1 to June 30, 2026 and 76 cents per mile from July 1, 2026, a mid-year increase announced by the IRS. Kilevo applies both as published, each trip at the rate of its date, and the pages of the site read exactly the same figures as the calculation engine.

Two rates matter in Kilevo, one per trip type:

Business: 76 cents per mile since July 1, 2026, 72.5 cents before. Drive 9,200 business miles after July 1 and your mileage reimbursement is 9,200 × $0.76 = $6,992.

Charitable: 14 cents per mile, for driving done for a qualified charity. This rate is set by statute, which is why it never moves.

There is one rate per mile and nothing else: no brackets by annual distance, no engine power, no separate table by vehicle. The business rate applies to gasoline, diesel, hybrid and fully electric vehicles alike.

You have nothing to enter: the rate is kept up to date in Kilevo. Each trip carries its type, Business or Charitable, and the year's rate is applied to its miles. The full table, with the 2025 rates for comparison, is on the IRS standard mileage rate 2026 page.

The standard mileage rate already covers gas, insurance, maintenance, repairs and depreciation; only tolls and parking are deductible on top, as related expenses attached to the trip.
