How does gas reimbursement work?
To cover employee vehicle costs incurred as part of the job, an employer pays a cents-per-mile rate to employees. You multiply this rate by the number of miles you drive over a payment period, and the result is your mileage reimbursement. Say you drive 1000 miles this month. Your reimbursement amount will be $560.
