Updates to Travel Reimbursement Rates
Submitted by Jennifer R Wilson
Effective July 1, 2025, the State of Kansas increased the standard mileage reimbursement rates for employees to align with changes implemented by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The new rates are as follows:
· 70¢ per mile for privately- owned automobiles
· 68¢ per mile for privately- owned motorcycles
· $1.75 per mile for privately- owned airplanes (based on air miles rather than highway miles)
· 21¢ per mile for moving related mileage and is also the rate used for Foundation Vehicles
You may also find the updated rate schedule in Kansas State University’s travel policies (PPM 6410).
The Cost Comparison form, Concur, Concur Travel Guide web page, and the K-State Travel Guide have been updated to include the new mileage reimbursement rate occurring on July 1, 2025, and after.
