How to Estimate Your Monthly Commute Mileage

Use a quick calculation to choose the right 1,200- or 1,500-mile monthly allowance.

Start with your work commute

Multiply your one-way commute by two, then multiply by the number of workdays in a typical month. For example, a 20-mile one-way commute across 20 workdays is about 800 miles.

Add personal driving

Include groceries, appointments, school trips, and regular weekend travel. Leave a reasonable cushion so normal life does not push you over your allowance.
