"How do I set up a repeating mileage allowance?"
When a person's themself paying their work related traveling costs, you could set them up with a repeating mileage allowance.
To set up a repeating mileage allowance:
- First, select the person who's getting the allowance on: MenuPeople
- Next, go to: PayPay settings
- And scroll down to the "Repeat payables ... personal" heading.
- Then click: New repeat payable
- Next, select: Mileage allowance
- Start setting Mileage allowance ... per year by dragging the slider.
- You can also type in a number if you'd like.
- Next, set Estimated miles ... per year to an estimate of how many miles the person travels in one year.
- You'll notice as you drag the slider, the big tax-free percent (at the top) changes.
- The higher the miles, the more of the mileage allowance is tax-free.
- If you've got a high enough number of miles, the mileage allowance becomes 100% tax-free.
- Next, click: Save
- And the tax-free mileage allowance is now added to the person's paystub every payday.
- To see the mileage allowance on the person's paystub.
- Hover your mouse over the mileage allowance, and click the "See on paystub" button:
- And you'll see the mileage allowance showing under: "Post-tax benefits and reimbursements"
- And finally, if you hover your mouse over the mileage allowance amount, you'll see a breakdown of the calculation.

Keep in mind that:
- If the person's mileage allowance numbers allow it to be 100% tax-free, the entire amount is shown under the "Post-tax benefits and reimbursements" section.
- However, if it's less than 100% tax-free, the mileage allowance is then split between the "Post-tax benefits and reimbursements" and the "Pre-tax benefits" sections.
- Any amount in the "Pre-tax benefits" section means it's taxable, like the person's regular pay.
And that's it! That's all you need to do, to set up a repeating mileage allowance!
