Delaware per diem

If you're traveling to a city in Delaware without a specific per diem rate, the standard federal rates of $110 for lodging and $68 per day for meals and incidentals will apply. These rates are set by the General Services Administration (GSA) and are effective from October 2025 to September 2026.

For cities with location-specific rates, the GSA provides fixed per diem amounts to account for cost variations. Here are the Delaware cities with specific per diem rates:
