What are the HMRC mileage rates for 2026/27?

The HMRC simplified mileage rates — also known as Approved Mileage Allowance Payments (AMAPs) — for cars and vans in the 2026/27 tax year (6 April 2026 to 5 April 2027) are:

First 10,000 qualifying business miles: 55p per mile. Above 10,000 miles: 25p per mile. The 10,000-mile threshold is shared across all cars and vans you use for business in the tax year — it does not reset for each vehicle.

Motorcycles can be claimed at 24p per mile (no 10,000-mile threshold), and bicycles at 20p per mile. You can also claim an extra 5p per mile for each passenger you carry on a business journey.

  • Cars and vans: 55p/mile for the first 10,000 miles, then 25p/mile
  • Motorcycles: 24p/mile (no threshold)
  • Bicycles: 20p/mile (no threshold)
  • Passenger payments: an extra 5p/mile per passenger

How to use the HMRC mileage calculator

Enter your starting postcode, add any intermediate stops, and enter your destination postcode. The calculator geocodes each postcode, routes the journey by road, and multiplies the distance by the current HMRC rate to show your estimated claim value.

If you drive back to your starting point, toggle "Return to starting point" and the return leg is included automatically.

Worked example

As long as your total business mileage for the tax year is under 10,000 miles, every qualifying mile is worth 55p. Once you pass 10,000 miles, additional miles drop to 25p each.
