Per Diem Rates
FY 2019 Per Diem Rates Now Available
Please note! The FY2019 rates are NOT the default rates until October 1, 2018.
You must follow these instructions to view FY2019 rates. Select FY2019 from the drop-down box above the "Search By City, State, or ZIP Code” or “Search by State" map, then click directly on the state in the map where you wish to view a rate. Otherwise, the search box only returns current FY rates.
Rates are set by fiscal year, effective October 1 each year. Find current rates in the continental United States ("CONUS Rates") by searching below with city and state (or ZIP code), or by clicking on the map, or use the new Per Diem tool to calculate trip allowances.
