Business Mileage for Tradespeople
Tradespeople drive between jobs all day, and those journeys between sites are claimable business mileage. Use the calculator below to calculate a full day’s route — enter each job as a stop and get the total distance and HMRC claim value at 55p per mile.
Which journeys a tradesperson can claim
If you are self-employed and your home is your business base, every leg from home to the first job and back is claimable.
- Travel between job sites during the day
- Travel to collect materials or parts for a job
- Travel from your yard or home base to your first job (if home is your business base)
- Travel from your last job back to your yard or home base
Why a multi-stop calculator helps
A tradesperson might visit four or five jobs a day. Adding each leg by hand is slow and easy to get wrong. The calculator below lets you enter every job as a stop and routes the whole day in one calculation.
Worked example — an electrician’s day
Even the detour to the trade counter counts if it is for a job. At 39 miles a day, five days a week, that is nearly £5,600 of claimable mileage a year at the 55p rate.
