Per diem FAQ

What are GSA per diem rates?

GSA per diem rates are the maximum daily allowances the federal government reimburses for lodging and meals & incidental expenses (M&IE) when employees and contractors travel for government work.

Why do per diem rates matter for government contractors?

When you price travel into a federal proposal, your travel costs are typically capped at the GSA per diem rate for the destination. Using the correct rate keeps your bid compliant and competitive.

How often do GSA per diem rates change?

GSA updates per diem rates annually for each federal fiscal year (which begins October 1), and some locations change seasonally.
