Frequently asked questions
Does every city in Indiana have its own per diem rate?
No — only 3 locations have a separately listed GSA rate in Indiana. Every other city or county in the state uses the standard CONUS rate of $110.00 lodging + $68.00 M&IE.
Which city in Indiana has the highest per diem rate?
Lafayette / West Lafayette has the highest listed lodging cap in Indiana, at $143.00 a night, compared with $133.00 in Indianapolis / Carmel.
How do I calculate per diem for a multi-city trip through Indiana?
Use the calculator on each city's page for the nights spent there, then add the totals together — lodging caps and M&IE tiers can differ from one Indiana city to the next, so a single flat rate for the whole trip would be inaccurate.
