Per diem rates for meals vary by location. Why is this? How can I find my rate?
Per Diem (M&IE) is the allowance for lodging (excluding taxes), meals and incidental expenses. The General Services Administration (GSA) establishes per diem rates for destinations within the Continental United States. Please visit www.gsa.gov/perdiem to find the rates. Click on the state you need to view that state's rates. Even though some cities are listed for your lookup convenience, not all cities can or will be listed, so look for the county where you will be staying. To look up the county, visit www.naco.org. If the city or county you are looking for is not listed on the GSA per diem rate page, then the standard CONUS rate of $93 for lodging and $51 for meals applies.
What are per diem rates for the first and last day of my trip? Why is it less on
these days?
On the first and last travel day, employees are only eligible for 75 percent of the total per diem (M&IE) rate for their temporary duty travel location (not the official duty station location).
