Per Diem Rates Right Now

Posted February 9, 2005

Immediately locate the information you need using the interactive map on the new domestic per diem rates page. Select fiscal year 2005 (October 1, 2004 through September 30, 2005) or a previous fiscal year in the drop down box above the map to access rates relative to that year.

Per diem rates—the allowance for lodging (excluding taxes), meals, and related incidental expenses—are regularly reviewed and adjusted according to market conditions. GSA establishes per diem rates for destinations within the continental United States (CONUS). Links to foreign rates, established by the State Department, and non-foreign (other than CONUS) rates, set by the Department of Defense, are provided below the interactive map.

Need more details about travel regulations? Chapters 300-304 of the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) provide specific information about travel at government expense. Please contact Lois Mandell, Per Diem Team Leader, at (202) 501-2824 with questions about per diem rates or any travel policy issue.
