Understanding the 2022 Gas Reimbursement Rates
Calculating vehicle reimbursement for the tax year 2022 requires special attention because the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) enacted a rare mid-year rate adjustment. Due to significant increases in fuel prices, the standard mileage rates for the second half of 2022 are higher than those for the first half.
This 2022 Gas Reimbursement Rate Calculator is specifically designed to handle this split-year calculation, ensuring your tax deductions or employee reimbursements are accurate for both periods.
Why Are There Two Rates for 2022?
Typically, the IRS sets standard mileage rates annually. However, in recognition of recent gasoline price increases, the IRS announced a special adjustment for the final months of 2022. This means that miles driven from January 1 to June 30 are calculated at one rate, while miles driven from July 1 to December 31 are calculated at a higher rate.

How to Calculate Your Reimbursement
To accurately calculate your deduction or reimbursement amount:
Separate your mileage logs: You must distinctively summarize the miles driven before July 1st and the miles driven on or after July 1st. You cannot simply aggregate the total annual mileage and apply a single rate.
Select the purpose: Choose whether the driving was for business, medical/moving, or charitable purposes using the dropdown menu above.
Enter the miles: Input the respective mileage for the first half and second half of the year into the calculator fields.
Calculate: The tool will apply the specific rates for each time period and sum them for your total 2022 reimbursement value.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who qualifies for the "Moving" rate?
Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the deduction for moving expenses is suspended for most taxpayers for tax years 2018 through 2025. This deduction is currently only available to members of the Armed Forces on active duty who move pursuant to a military order and incident to a permanent change of station.
Why didn't the charitable rate change?
The charitable mileage rate is set by federal statute (law) and remains at 14 cents per mile. The IRS does not have the authority to adjust this rate based on inflation or fuel costs; it requires congressional action to change.
Can I use the standard mileage rate for a fleet of vehicles?
Generally, you can use the standard mileage rate if you own or lease the vehicle. However, if you operate a fleet of five or more cars at the same time (as in a fleet operation), you generally cannot use the standard mileage rate. Always consult a tax professional for specific business situations.
Is this reimbursement taxable?
If an employer reimburses employees at the IRS standard mileage rate (or lower) under an "accountable plan" (where employees substantiate their mileage), the reimbursement is typically tax-free. If the reimbursement exceeds the federal rate, the excess amount may be considered taxable income.
