+# How Reimbursement Rates Are Determined
+
+## Submitting to a workspace
+
+If you're submitting the expense to a workspace:
+
+- You'll choose from the distance rates that are enabled on that workspace.
+- The **Workspace Admin** manages available rates.
+- The **unit** (miles or kilometers) depends on the workspace’s distance unit setting.
+
+[Learn how to manage distance rates as a Workspace Admin](https://help.expensify.com/articles/new-expensify/reports-and-expenses/Managing-Distance-Rates)
+
+## Not submitting to a workspace
+
+If you're not submitting to a workspace (e.g., personal tracking):
+
+- Expensify will apply a **default rate** based on your **reporting currency**.
+   - Example: For USD, the rate is based on the current IRS reimbursement rate and uses **miles**.
+   - Other currencies use sensible defaults determined by Expensify’s internal research.
+- You can’t customize this rate unless you upgrade to a workspace.
+- Default distance rates are updated annually.

 # FAQ
 
 ## Is there an easy way to reuse recent locations?
+

 ## How do I create a round-trip expense?
-To create a round-trip distance expense, enter the same location for both the starting point and destination, and add one or more waypoints in between. 
 
-For example, if you're starting and ending in San Francisco but making a stop in Los Angeles, you’d enter: **San Francisco → Los Angeles → San Francisco**.
