Grubhub mileage deduction calculator
Enter your business miles to see the standard mileage deduction and a rough idea of the tax it saves. The deduction lowers both self-employment tax and income tax, so it is worth more than your income tax bracket alone.
How it is calculated: deduction = miles x IRS rate for the date driven. Self-employment tax saved is about deduction x 92.35% x 15.3% (Schedule SE). Income tax saved is about deduction x your bracket. This ignores state tax, the QBI deduction and the deduction for half of self-employment tax, so treat it as an estimate, not tax advice.

Grubhub miles to track
- Miles during a block: to restaurants, to customers and between orders
- Repositioning while you are available for orders
- Business errands for the delivery car
- Separately: home to your delivery zone and back (commuting rules decide these)
- Keep weekly earnings statements as backup for the dates
Does Grubhub track mileage?
Do not count on the app as your mileage record. Whatever mileage a delivery app reports is not a log with dates, destinations and purposes, and it cannot see driving while you are offline. Record odometer readings at the start and end of each block; it takes seconds and covers everything.
