Calculation method
Calculation method
Reimbursement by new claim ($)
Split each claim at the remaining first-band distance; multiply each distance portion by its supplied rate and round the claim total to US cents.
Total new reimbursement ($)
Sum individually rounded claims.
Cumulative distance after claims (miles)
Prior distance+new claim distances.
First-band distance remaining (miles)
max(0,first-band ceiling−ending cumulative distance).

Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- Two cumulative mileage bands with explicit rates, six-decimal distance inputs and claim-level cent rounding. No tax authority’s rate, year reset, eligibility or unit conversion is inferred.
