How to calculate mileage reimbursement
Answers
If you use the IRS rate, it is for normal wear and tear on a vehicle, including gas. So, oil changes, brakes and tires.
If the vehicle is involved in a collision, then you have another issue. What is the company policy. What company insurance policy do you have, etc., etc.
As Wayne points out the IRS regulations account for wear and tear and if you calculate the IRS mileage rate at $.575 per mile and compare that to what it would have cost to simply pay for the gas used for those miles it adds up so much that we have started renting vehicles when the mileage reimbursement becomes higher than a car rental.
