Calculation of Business Mileage

*Current reimbursement rate is 50 cents per mile for FY10 starting July 1, 2009.

Business travel mileage shall be reimbursed and computed between the travel site destination and the traveler’s Official Headquarters or residence if leaving directly from the residence, whichever is less.  For example, a traveler living in Macon, Missouri, who drives to Columbia from Macon on university business, may be reimbursed mileage from Macon to Columbia and back.  If for some reason the traveler needed to come to campus first, then traveled to Columbia for the business meeting, then returned home to Macon, the mileage to Columbia would be reimbursable from Kirksville to Columbia.  The mileage back would be reimbursable from Columbia to Macon.
