Frequently asked questions
Does every city in New Hampshire have its own per diem rate?

Which city in New Hampshire has the highest per diem rate?
Portsmouth has the highest listed lodging cap in New Hampshire, at $192.00 a night, compared with $124.00 in Concord.
How do I calculate per diem for a multi-city trip through New Hampshire?
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 New Hampshire city to the next, so a single flat rate for the whole trip would be inaccurate.
