Formula and calculation logic
Travel amount = annual eligible kilometres × rate per kilometre
Deduction = max(0, min(travel amount, 103,100 NOK) − annual threshold)
Illustrative tax reduction = deduction × 22%
Estimate a commuting deduction from annual travel distance and the deduction rate you enter.
The estimate applies the entered rate and threshold, then caps eligible travel amount at 103,100 NOK for 2026.
Assumptions

Questions about this tool
What distance should I enter?
Enter your eligible annual commute distance according to the applicable tax rules.
Is the full travel amount deductible?
No. The annual threshold is subtracted, and the deduction is subject to a cap.
Does this calculate my tax refund?
No. It estimates the deduction and an illustrative tax effect, not your final tax settlement.
Are home-office days included?
No. Exclude days you did not travel and check the current Tax Administration rules.
