Each year the DoD Per Diem, Travel and Transportation Committee sets the Per Diem allowance. The Per Diem is specific to a given travel location and can range from a standard CONUS rate from $142 per day up to $735 per day for Out-of-CONUS rates.
FY 2018 Per Diem Highlights GSA establishes the per diem rates for the lower 48 Continental United States (CONUS), which are the maximum allowances that federal employees are reimbursed for expenses incurred while on official travel. The CONUS per diem rate for an area is actually three allowances: the lodging allowance, the meals allowance and the incidental expense allowance. Most of the CONUS (approximately 2600 counties) are covered by the standard CONUS per diem rate of $144 ($93 lodging, $51 meals and incidental expenses). In fiscal year (FY) 2018, there are 332 Non-Standard Areas (NSAs) that have per diem rates higher than the standard CONUS rate.
