Calculate a mileage claim: miles multiplied by a per-mile rate, with tolls and parking added and a round-trip option.
Reimbursement is miles driven for work multiplied by the applicable per-mile rate, plus out-of-pocket tolls and parking. The default rate is an editable example — organisations and tax authorities set different rates and update them periodically, so enter the rate that applies to the claim being made. Keep a contemporaneous log of dates, destinations and miles to support any claim.
What rate should be used? The rate set by the employer or the applicable tax authority for the claim period. Rates change, which is why the field is editable — check the current published rate before submitting.
Does commuting count? In most schemes, ordinary commuting between home and a regular workplace is not reimbursable, while travel to temporary or additional work locations is. Follow the rules of the scheme being claimed under.
Should tolls be added separately? Yes, where the scheme allows it. Tolls and parking are usually claimed at actual cost on top of the per-mile amount, which is intended to cover fuel, wear and insurance.
