How is the total per diem calculated?+
It multiplies the daily per diem rate by the number of eligible days on the trip, sometimes adjusting the first and last day if only partial per diem applies for travel days.
Why do the first and last day often get a reduced rate?+
Many per diem policies (including US federal guidelines) pay a reduced percentage, often 75%, for the departure and return days since the traveler is not present at the destination for the full 24 hours.
Does per diem cover lodging as well as meals?+
It depends on the policy: some per diem rates are meals-and-incidentals only, with lodging reimbursed separately at actual cost, while others bundle lodging into a single combined daily rate.
What happens if the per diem rate differs by city?+
Enter the correct rate for each location separately and calculate each leg's total individually, since government and corporate per diem tables commonly vary by destination cost of living.
Is per diem taxable income?+
This depends on jurisdiction and whether the rate exceeds the standard allowance; per diem paid at or below the applicable government rate is often non-taxable, but amounts above that threshold may be treated as taxable wages.
