NHS Mileage & Travel Expenses Calculator
Calculate your travel reimbursement and estimated tax liability with our **NHS Mileage Calculator** for **2026/27**. Under **Agenda for Change (Annex 12)**, community staff receive **59p per mile** for the first 10,000 miles. Because this exceeds HMRC's tax-free limit of **45p per mile**, you may owe tax on the 14p difference. This free tool calculates your total expenses and estimates your net payout after tax.
