Frequently asked questions
Does every city in Michigan have its own per diem rate?
No — only 11 locations have a separately listed GSA rate in Michigan. Every other city or county in the state uses the standard CONUS rate of $110.00 lodging + $68.00 M&IE.
Which city in Michigan has the highest per diem rate?
Traverse City has the highest listed lodging cap in Michigan, at $235.00 a night, compared with $116.00 in Pontiac / Auburn Hills .
How do I calculate per diem for a multi-city trip through Michigan?
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 Michigan city to the next, so a single flat rate for the whole trip would be inaccurate.
