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 North Dakota

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.

Because GSA publishes no locality rate for any North Dakota destination in FY2027, federal travelers on official duty anywhere in North Dakota use the standard CONUS rate for both lodging and M&IE. If hotel prices in a North Dakota city run above the $113 lodging cap, the excess is normally the traveler's cost unless their agency approves actual-expense reimbursement.

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.

North Dakota per diem FAQs

What is the GSA per diem rate for North Dakota in FY2027?

North Dakota has no non-standard GSA travel areas in FY2027, so the reference rate is the standard CONUS rate: $113 per night for lodging plus $68 per day for meals and incidental expenses (M&IE), a total of $181 per day. The rates apply to travel from October 1, 2026 to September 30, 2027.

Why does North Dakota have no city rates listed?

GSA only publishes a separate locality rate where surveyed hotel costs run clearly above the standard rate. In North Dakota no area qualified as a non-standard area for FY2027, so one standard rate covers the whole state.

How is per diem calculated for a trip to North Dakota?

Multiply the per-day total by the number of travel days for a simple estimate: $181 per day at the standard rate. A real federal claim works slightly differently: lodging is reimbursed only up to the nightly cap based on actual cost, and M&IE on the first and last travel day is paid at 75 percent of the full rate.

Do these North Dakota rates apply to military TDY?

Yes. GSA sets CONUS per diem for federal civilian travelers, and the Department of Defense uses the same GSA rates for service members on temporary duty (TDY) in the continental United States, including North Dakota.
