    Nope. Though it appears a simple typo on your part. May does not pay .30 cpm extra for every mile over 10k run in a calendar month. May pays .03 cpm extra for every mile over 10k run per month. If you are getting an additional .30 cpm for every mile over 10k run per month, kudos, though I'd have to see that to believe it. If you are only getting 3/10ths of a cent per mile for every mile over 10k in a calendar month ...why bother. Do the math.

    And yes, for those who stayed in school, you are correct in that .03 is the proper way to express the statement when referring to 3 cents per mile. Check your pay stub, it states "Rate" as .03000 for the "Solo Bonus" (which means $0.03, or 3 cents, or three cents, and so on) Cheers, GD

    Real funny. Simple typo on my part. You better use your spell checker app from now on, because every word you spell incorrectly here, will be duly noted. Now you better get back to shining shoes ;-)

    Is that because you are afraid you'll make a mistake?

    144.28 / .03 = 4826.

    4826 + 10000 = 14826 miles for March.

    Yay for me.
