# The cents change in July. Knockdesk is field sales software for teams that sell in person. The irs mileage rate 2026 for business use is 72.5 cents a mile from January 1, 2026 through June 30, 2026, then 76 cents a mile from July 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026. Those figures are the IRS optional standard mileage rates. This page is general information, not legal advice. ## The irs mileage rate july 2026 is 76 cents The 2026 mileage rate is not one number for the whole year. Announcement 2026-11 in Internal Revenue Bulletin 2026-29 sets business use at 76 cents per mile for transportation expenses on or after July 1, 2026, and says Notice 2026-10 still governs miles before that day. Charity stays at 14 cents. Medical and military moving move from 20.5 cents to 23.5 cents on the same July split. **Before July.** Business standard mileage rate of 72.5 cents, from Notice 2026-10, for miles through June 30, 2026. **From July 1, 2026.** Business rate of 76 cents. That is the irs mileage rate july 2026 on the IRS table. **Charity.** 14 cents for both halves of 2026. The IRS table keeps that row unchanged. ## Mileage reimbursement rate 2026 is useless if the miles are a guess A mileage reimbursement rate 2026 on a spreadsheet still needs the route, the day, and the visit. If the clock, the turf, and the deal live in three places, Friday is a reconstructed odometer. Knockdesk does not calculate the IRS cents for you. The walkthrough is how the team clocks time, runs the route, and keeps the deal next to the knock that produced it. 1. The rep clocks in with location on the GPS clock. 2. They start the route on the assigned turf, not a private pin drop. 3. They log each visit at the door, including Not Home. 4. A won install sits on the deal card, not in a separate miles sheet. 5. Split the year's miles at July 1, 2026 if you apply the IRS optional rates yourself. ## See the install that came from the miles Oak Ave install on this page is a sample deal, not a customer result.
