Simple estimate: trip total is the per-day total times the number of days. Real claims prorate the first and last travel day M&IE at 75 percent; this calculator does not model that, so treat the result as a planning estimate.

How per diem works in Florida

Per diem has two separate parts. Lodging is reimbursed up to the nightly cap for the travel area: spend less than the cap and you are reimbursed what you spent, spend more and the difference is normally on you. M&IE is a flat daily allowance paid in full with no meal receipts required, and it is meant to cover meals plus incidental costs such as tips and fees. Federal travelers and service members on temporary duty (TDY) use these GSA rates in the continental United States, and many private employers and contractors use the same figures as their travel benchmark.

Two rules shape a real claim. First, M&IE on the first and last day of travel is paid at 75 percent of the full daily rate. Second, lodging is a cap, not an allowance, so there is no benefit to booking a room priced right at the cap. This page's calculator keeps the math simple on purpose: it multiplies the full per-day total by the number of days, without the 75 percent first and last day adjustment, which makes it a planning estimate rather than a claim figure.

Source and how to verify: rates on this page are the official GSA per diem rates for federal fiscal year 2027 (October 1, 2026 to September 30, 2027), from the U.S. General Services Administration FY2027 per diem master rates file published at gsa.gov. Lodging figures are the October 2026 rate for each travel area; many areas change by season, so check the month of your trip in the GSA per diem lookup before you file a claim. EveryCalc republishes the rates for convenience; GSA and your agency travel office are the official record.

Florida per diem FAQs

What is the highest GSA per diem rate in Florida for FY2027?

The highest listed rate in Florida is Key West, at $365 per day: $279 for lodging (October 2026) plus $86 for M&IE. Lodging caps change by month in many areas, so the same destination can cost more or less in another season.

What per diem rate applies to a Florida city that is not listed?

Any Florida destination outside the 22 listed travel areas uses the standard CONUS rate for FY2027: $113 per night for lodging plus $68 per day for M&IE, a total of $181 per day.

How is per diem calculated for a trip in Florida?

Add the lodging cap and the M&IE rate for the travel area to get the per-day total, then multiply by the number of days for a simple estimate. For example, Key West at $365 per day for 3 days gives $1,095. A real federal claim pays lodging only up to the cap based on actual cost, and pays M&IE at 75 percent on the first and last travel day.

Are Florida per diem rates the same all year?

M&IE is fixed for the fiscal year (October 1, 2026 to September 30, 2027), but lodging caps vary by season in many Florida travel areas. The tables here show the October 2026 lodging rate. Check the GSA per diem lookup for the exact month of your trip before booking or filing a claim.
