Record the date, destination, travel purpose, and whether each day is a full day, partial day, or travel day. Your employer may require a travel authorization form.
Use the GSA standard CONUS rate or the rate for your specific destination. High-cost areas like New York or San Francisco have higher rates.
Multiply days by the applicable rate. Use the calculator above to track different day types and get an instant total.
