The IRS has issued the 2022 optional standard mileage rates used to calculate the deductible costs of operating an automobile for business, charitable, medical or moving purposes.
Beginning Jan. 1, the standard mileage rates for the use of a car will be 58.5 cents per mile driven for business use (up 2.5 cents from the 2021 rate), 18 cents per mile driven for medical or moving purposes for active-duty military (up 2 cents) and 14 cents per mile driven for charitable organizations (unchanged).
The IRS bases the standard mileage rate for business use on an annual study of the fixed and variable costs of operating an automobile. The agency bases its rate for medical and moving purposes on variable costs. Learn more.
