Your Mileage Questions, Answered
How do I calculate mileage for taxes?
The most common method is the **standard mileage rate**. You simply track all your business-related miles for the year and multiply that total by the official rate set by your country's tax authority (like the IRS or HMRC). Our miles deduction calculator does this for you automatically using the latest rates.
Can I just estimate my mileage for taxes?
No, tax authorities require a contemporaneous (recorded at the time) log. While you can't guess, you can reconstruct a log from your calendar, emails, and receipts. The key to a successful **mileage write-off** is a detailed record. Our free mileage log generator helps you create a clean, compliant **mileage report** for your records.
What about the 1099 mileage deduction?
If you're a self-employed freelancer or a gig worker for services like Uber or Doordash, this is one of your most important deductions. **Figuring out mileage for taxes** is essential. Every business mile you drive is a potential deduction against your income. Using a dedicated 1099 mileage deduction calculator like this one is the best way to see your potential savings.
Should I calculate gas mileage for taxes?
You can, using the "actual expenses" method (which includes gas, oil, repairs, insurance, etc.). However, for most freelancers and small businesses, the standard mileage deduction is simpler and often results in a larger write-off. This tool focuses on the standard method to give you a quick, reliable **mileage tax deduction** estimate.
