Travel expense and mileage reimbursements in Nevada In general, Nevada state and county employees are entitled to the following per diem travel allowances: approximately $110 to $184 for lodging, and. approximately $68 to $80 for meals and incidentals.
For example, a per diem payment for an information technology (IT) consultant working for the week in another city could be $200 per day: $100 for accommodations, $50 for food, and $50 for incidental costs.
Per diem rates are set based upon contractor-provided average daily rate (ADR) data of local lodging properties. The properties must be fire-safe and have a FEMA ID number. The ADR is a travel industry metric that divides room sales rental revenue by the number of rooms sold.
The total per diem is the sum of the M&IE rate and the lodging rate. In other words: Total Per Diem = M&IE rate + Lodging rate. So, for example, if the M&IE rate for a specific location is $60 per day, and the lodging rate is $100 per day, the total per diem for that location would be $160 ($60 + $100).
Travel expense reimbursements for state employees The standard lodging per diem rate for traveling in Nevada is up to $184. The per diem may be larger for out-of-state travel.
Travelers are eligible for 75 percent (75%) of the total per diem rate on the first and last day of travel. For example, if the per diem rate allows a $28 total reimbursement, $21.00 would be allowable on a travel departure or return day ($28 x . 75 = $21).
The DoD Per Diem Allowance Per diem is specific to a given travel location and can range from a standard CONUS rate from $178 per day to over $1,000 per day for certain OCONUS rates.
Per Diem Formula To calculate a per diem amount, divide the annual rate by 365, then multiply the result by the principal amount.
For employees, per diems are not considered wages and, therefore, are not taxable. There are a few caveats to this. First, employees must submit an expense report that includes dates and location of the trip and the business purpose of the trip.
These days, however, many are combining business and personal travel on a regular basis, in a trend referred to as 'bleisure' trips. Both companies and employees benefit from mixing business and personal travel, since it provides flexibility and nuance to otherwise standard business trips.
