Mileage claim calculator

Enter your business miles for one tax year to see what they're worth at HMRC's approved mileage allowance payment (AMAP) rates. If you're an employee, add what your employer paid you per mile to see the difference you can claim tax relief on.

Tax year Vehicle Business miles in the tax year Passenger miles (car or van, employees) Your employer paid (pence a mile, 0 if self-employed)

Approved amount: £6,125.00

The rates

Vehicle	First 10,000 business miles	Over 10,000
Car or van, 2026/27	55p	25p
Car or van, 2011/12 to 2025/26	45p	25p
Motorcycle	24p	24p
Bicycle	20p	20p

These are the rates on GOV.UK. The first-10,000-miles rate for cars and vans went up from 45p to 55p for the 2026/27 tax year; it had been 45p since 2011/12. The 10,000 miles count across the whole tax year (6 April to 5 April) for each job, not per vehicle.

If you're self-employed

If you use simplified expenses for a car, van or motorcycle, you claim a flat rate per business mile at these rates instead of your actual running costs. You can't then also claim fuel, insurance or servicing for that vehicle, and once you've chosen the flat rate for a vehicle you keep using it for as long as you have that vehicle. GOV.UK explains who can use simplified expenses.

If you're an employee

If your employer pays less than the approved amount, or nothing, you can claim tax relief on the difference. Relief is at your income tax rate, so it's worth a share of the difference rather than the whole amount: 20% of it for a basic rate taxpayer. Travel to your normal workplace (commuting) doesn't count as business mileage.
