2025 IRS Standard Mileage

The Internal Revenue Service has issued the 2025 optional standard mileage rates used to calculate the deductible costs of operating an automobile for business, charitable, medical, or moving purposes.

Beginning on Jan. 1, 2025, the standard mileage rates for the use of a car (also vans, pickups, or panel trucks) will be:

  • 70 cents per mile driven for business use, up 3 cents from 2024
  • 21 cents per mile driven for medical purposes or for moving purposes for qualified active-duty members of the Armed Forces, unchanged from 2024
  • 14 cents per mile driven in service of charitable organizations; the rate is set by statute and remains unchanged from 2024.

Note: The rates apply to electric and hybrid-electric automobiles, as well as gasoline and diesel-powered vehicles. The standard mileage rate for business use is based on an annual study of the fixed and variable costs of operating an automobile. The rate for medical and moving purposes is based on the variable costs.
