A total, not a claim
A travel and expense total is arithmetic on the categories you enter, not a tax determination, a mileage-rate ruling, or a reimbursement claim. Sum the declared categories, then add a stated contingency percentage to arrive at a padded total you can quote or budget against.
100 miles at $0.67, two nights of $200 lodging, two days of $60 per diem, and a $300 rental sum to a base total, and a 10 percent contingency adds a stated margin on top. Change any one category and the base and padded totals both move. Confirm the actual mileage rate, lodging rate, and per diem policy that applies to your engagement separately from this arithmetic.
This is a planning calculation, not a certification. Confirm the relevant camera, lens, card, printer, contract, location, or workflow constraint in the real setup before relying on the result.

FAQ
- Does this calculate mileage tax deductions or reimbursement rates?
- No. It sums the dollar amounts you enter. Confirm the applicable rate, policy, or tax rule with the relevant authority or client contract.
- Is this a guarantee?
- No. The result is bounded by the inputs and assumptions shown on the page. It is designed to support a better next decision, not replace a test, measurement, proof, or professional judgement where one is needed.
