Worked Examples
Let's look at a couple of examples to see how the Ontario mileage calculator works in practice.
Example 1: Standard Mileage Rate
Suppose you traveled 150 kilometers for business purposes using a standard vehicle. The current standard mileage rate in Ontario is $0.54 per kilometer.
Reimbursement Amount = 150 km × $0.54/km = $81.00
You would be reimbursed $81.00 for this business travel.
Example 2: Electric Vehicle Mileage Rate
If you used an electric vehicle for your business travel, the mileage rate is higher. For 200 kilometers traveled, the electric vehicle rate is $0.65 per kilometer.
Reimbursement Amount = 200 km × $0.65/km = $130.00
You would receive $130.00 in reimbursement for this trip.
These examples show how the Ontario mileage calculator helps you determine the proper reimbursement amount based on the type of vehicle you used and the distance traveled.
