2015 Standard Mileage Rates from the IRS

Miles driven in the pickup, you can use the applicable IRS mileage rate. Miles ridden on horseback, you’ll have to deduct the expenses instead. Photo by Becky McCray.

The 2015 standard mileage rates for the use of a car (also vans, pickups or panel trucks) will be:

• 57.5 cents per mile for business miles driven
• 23 cents per mile driven for medical or moving purposes
• 14 cents per mile driven in service of charitable organizations

The business, medical, and moving expense rates may change each year. The charitable rate is based on statute, so it won’t change until the law changes.
