Using the directory

Find the locality that covers the work activity, then check the travel month. Lodging ranges above show the lowest and highest monthly ceilings in this edition; they are not estimates of hotel prices. M&IE is the full-day meals and incidental expenses allowance. See meal allocations and travel-day amounts.

If a stay crosses a seasonal boundary, each hotel night uses that night’s rate. A trip crossing October 1 needs both fiscal-year editions. Read the federal travel rules reference.

Lodging taxes are separate from these room ceilings. Tax-exemption eligibility depends on the jurisdiction and payment method; the rate table does not establish an exemption. Check hotel tax exemptions using official state guidance.
