Uber Mileage Deduction Calculator

Estimate your Uber mileage deduction using the 2026 IRS standard mileage rate of $0.725 per business mile. This calculator helps Uber drivers estimate deductible miles, compare standard mileage vs actual expenses, and see how much mileage can reduce taxable income.

How to use this Uber mileage calculator

Enter your business miles and estimated operating cost to see whether the standard mileage method gives you a larger deduction than tracking actual expenses. For many Uber drivers, the IRS mileage rate creates a larger write-off than gas and maintenance alone.

If you also need to estimate self-employment tax or quarterly set-asides, use the Uber tax calculator or the 1099 tax calculator.
