Calculate business mileage using the correct 2026 IRS rate. The mid-year change is handled separately so January–June and July–December travel stay accurate.
Five hundred eligible business miles driven after July 1, 2026 produce a standard-rate amount of $380.00 (500 × $0.76). The same mileage before July 1 produces $362.50.

January 1–June 30: business miles × $0.725. July 1–December 31: business miles × $0.76. IRS Announcement 2026-11 revised the rate from July 1, so do not apply one blended rate to the entire year.
Record the date, business purpose, origin, destination and miles for every trip. Normal commuting is generally not business mileage.
The business rate is 72.5 cents per mile through June 30, 2026, and 76 cents per mile for travel on or after July 1, 2026.
Multiply eligible business miles by the rate that applied on the travel date. Split first-half and second-half miles in 2026.
Record the date, business purpose, origin, destination and miles for each trip, and retain supporting records.
