Your deduction is your business distance multiplied by the official rate. Here are four real examples, with the arithmetic shown:DriverBusiness distanceMathDeductionCanada, delivery driver20,000 km5,000 × $0.73 + 15,000 × $0.67$13,700 CADCanada, sales rep12,000 km5,000 × $0.73 + 7,000 × $0.67$8,340 CADUS, field sales rep16,000 miles8,000 × $0.725 + 8,000 × $0.76$11,880 USDUS, field service tech9,600 miles4,800 × $0.725 + 4,800 × $0.76$7,128 USDThe US examples assume half the miles were driven before July 1 and half after. Fuelshine applies the right rate to each trip by its date, so your yearly total is correct automatically.

No. The deduction lowers your taxable income, so your actual saving is the deduction multiplied by your tax rate. At a 30% rate, a $13,700 deduction is about $4,110 back. Your accountant can tell you your exact figure. Fuelshine shows your running deduction total in the app all year so you can see it grow.

Canada (CRA) 2026: 73¢ per km for the first 5,000 km and 67¢ per km after that. United States (IRS) 2026: 72.5¢ per mile from January 1 to June 30 and 76¢ per mile from July 1.

Usually: driving to clients or customers, travel between job sites, deliveries and pickups, and business errands. Driving from home to your regular workplace, and personal errands, usually do not count. Rules differ by country and situation, so check with a tax professional for yours.

The standard rate. It is simpler and needs no fuel or repair receipts. If your accountant prefers the actual-expense method, your exported trip log still works as supporting records, but the dollar total in the app uses the standard rate.
