How this calculator works

  • Each period’s business miles are multiplied by that period’s IRS business rate. For 2026, miles before July 1 use 72.5¢ and miles from July 1 use 76¢.
  • Business parking and tolls are added on top, because the standard rate doesn’t include them.
  • Income tax savings use the bracket you pick. Self-employment tax savings use 15.3% of 92.35% of the deduction, which applies while your earnings are under the Social Security wage base.
  • It ignores state tax, the qualified business income deduction, and credits, so treat the savings figure as a ballpark.
