Mileage Allowance Calculator
Calculate your HMRC-approved mileage allowance for business travel.
Quick answer
HMRC allows 55p per mile for the first 10,000 business miles in a tax year, then 25p per mile thereafter for cars and vans. Motorcycles: 24p/mile. Bicycles: 20p/mile. This is the Approved Mileage Allowance Payment (AMAP) rate for 2026-27.

How AMAP works
Approved Mileage Allowance Payments (AMAP) are HMRC's standard rates for business mileage. If you drive your own vehicle for work, you can claim these rates to cover fuel, insurance, repairs, and depreciation.
The rates apply per tax year (6 April to 5 April). After 10,000 business miles, the rate drops because running costs per mile decrease at higher mileage.

What counts as business mileage?
Business mileage is travel from one work location to another, or from your usual workplace to a temporary work site. It does NOT include your regular commute from home to your permanent workplace.
Examples of business mileage: travelling to meet a client, visiting a supplier, attending a conference, driving between job sites.
