How to Calculate Per Diem

What is Per Diem?

A per diem calculator converts daily allowance rates to weekly or monthly totals and calculates the total reimbursement for a business trip. IRS per diem rates (updated annually) vary by location; high-cost cities like New York and San Francisco have higher rates. Per diems simplify expense accounting without requiring receipts.
