How much can you spend?

Reduce your commuting expenses by taking advantage of commuter benefits. The IRS allows for certain work-related transit and parking expenses to be deducted from your paycheck on a pre-tax basis. Because typically you do not pay federal income taxes on these eligible expenses, you can save on commuter expenses.

For tax years beginning after January 1, 2024 the IRS allows up to $315 a month to be deducted pre-tax for commuter costs, and up to $315 a month pre-tax for eligible parking costs. Any amount beyond that becomes a post-tax deduction.

Transit $315/month

Parking $315/month
