Traveling expense

[JoeKing]

I just got back from a meeting with a potential client that is located fairly far from where I live (about 80 miles roundtrip). How much should I charge them for the travel?

Gas around here is about $2.50

This is for a web design project.

and please explain how you came up with the figure so that I know for next time.

[HomeBrewerDude]

how much are you charging for the assessment?

 

[Pantoot]

For mileage expenses incurred after 12/31/2004, the official IRS rate is $0.405 per mile.

$100

I figure 5 hrs x $20

Here is a site with the government milage reimbursement rates:

I would charge $0.405 per mile.
