The IRS has issued the 2025 cents-per-mile rates that can be used to calculate tax-deductible vehicle operating costs. Effective Jan. 1, 2025, the standard mileage rate for the business use of a car, van, pickup truck or panel truck is 70 cents per mile. (This is up from 67 cents per mile for 2024.) The 2025 rate for medical or eligible moving purposes is 21 cents per mile (unchanged from 2024). For charitable driving, the 2025 rate is 14 cents per mile (unchanged from 2024). These rates apply to gasoline and diesel-powered vehicles and to electric and hybrid-electric automobiles. To protect your deduction, don’t forget to keep detailed mileage records.
