The standard mileage rate (SMR) has a depreciation component. Use the information below to arrive at the sales price, cost plus expense and depreciation.

1. Total all of the business miles for the life of the vehicle
2. Total all miles on the vehicle for the life of the vehicle
3. Business miles divided by total miles = Business Use Percentage for the life of the vehicle
4. Take the original cost of the vehicle x the business use percentage = Business Cost
5. Take the sales or trade-in price x the business use percentage = Business Sales Price
6. Calculate all of the business miles by year with the rate in the SMR for depreciation (chart attached) to arrive at the total depreciation considered used by the IRS.
