Calculate Utah’s per diem allowance for your business travel

Utah

Controlling business travel expenses starts with setting clear, predictable guidelines. In Utah, per diem rates provide an effective way to manage costs by defining fixed allowances for lodging, meals, and other travel essentials. These standardized rates not only keep your travel budget on track but also give employees the confidence of knowing their expenses are covered.

For businesses that work in many parts of Utah, per diem rates make it easier to pay back employees and keep your travel expenses the same. This makes it easier for everyone involved to manage their travel costs.

Utah per diem rates

If you're traveling to a city in Utah without a specified per diem rate, the standard federal rates of $110 for lodging and $68 per day for meals and incidentals will apply. These rates 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 Utah cities with specific per diem rates:
