The GSA recently announced the CONUS per diem expense rates for fiscal year 2025, which will go into effect from October 1, 2024, to September 30, 2025. Federal agencies use these rates to reimburse their employees' M&IE expenses during official travel and these rates are considered the standard industry per diem rates.

For FY 2025, there will be a standard lodging rate increase from $107 to $110 for most of CONUS. Additionally, there are 296 non-standard areas with higher individual rates. The Meals &Incidental Expense reimbursement tiers have been updated for FY 2025, after last being revised in FY 2022. The M&IE NSA tiers have now increased from $59-$79 to range from $68-$92, while the standard M&IE rate has increased from $59 to $68.
