What is the HMRC mileage allowance for 2026/27?
From 6 April 2026, cars and vans get 55p a mile for the first 10,000 business miles in the tax year and 25p after that. Motorbikes stay at 24p a mile.
Does the 10,000 miles reset each year?
Yes. The 10,000 miles count across one tax year, from 6 April to 5 April, and start again from zero each April.
Can I claim fuel as well as the mileage rate?
No. The flat rate covers fuel, insurance, servicing, repairs and wear. Parking and tolls on business trips can still be claimed on top.
Is this the same as what an employer pays?
The car and van rates are the same figures HMRC sets for employers, but this calculator is for self-employed people claiming simplified expenses on their tax return.
