Understanding GSA Mileage Rates for 2022

For federal employees and authorized individuals using a Privately Owned Vehicle (POV) for official government business, reimbursement is based on rates set by the General Services Administration (GSA). These rates are designed to cover the costs of operating a vehicle, including gasoline, oil, maintenance, insurance, and depreciation.

The tax year 2022 was unique because the GSA adjusted the mileage rate mid-year in response to significant increases in fuel prices. It is crucial to use the correct rate corresponding to the specific dates of travel when calculating reimbursement claims for that year.

The Two 2022 GSA Rate Periods

If you are calculating travel reimbursement for the calendar year 2022, you must determine which of the two periods your travel fell under:

  • Period 1 (January 1, 2022 – June 30, 2022): The rate for use of a privately owned automobile was $0.585 cents per mile.
  • Period 2 (July 1, 2022 – December 31, 2022): Recognizing rising costs, the GSA increased the standard rate to $0.625 cents per mile for the second half of the year.

How to Use This Calculator

This calculator is specifically designed to handle the split rates of 2022. To determine your reimbursement:

  1. Enter the total number of miles driven for official business in the "Total Miles Driven" field.
  2. Select the appropriate date range from the "Travel Date Period" dropdown menu to ensure the correct historical rate is applied.
  3. Click "Calculate Reimbursement" to see the total estimated dollar amount for your claim.

Note: These rates apply to standard privately owned automobiles. Different rates apply to motorcycles or airplanes used for official business. Always verify current guidelines with your agency's finance or travel department before submitting a claim.
