Understanding your calculation
Method, example and limitations
How the calculation works
Mileage calculations compare distances and fuel use or calculate travel reimbursement, depending on the mode selected. Keep the rate units consistent with the recorded distance.
Example to check
At a chosen reimbursement rate of 0.50 per mile, a recorded 120-mile journey gives 60. This is a hypothetical rate, not an official allowance.
Before using the result
Official reimbursement rates vary by date, jurisdiction and trip purpose. Confirm the applicable policy rather than treating an example rate as current guidance.
