A per diem ('per day') is a fixed daily allowance for travel expenses — typically split into a meals-and-incidentals rate and a lodging rate — paid instead of reimbursing actual receipts. It simplifies travel accounting for both the traveler and the business: you multiply the days by the daily rates rather than tallying every receipt. Official per-diem rates vary by location and are published by tax and government bodies.
Often less than actual-expense reimbursement, which is part of their appeal — under many per-diem schemes you substantiate the time, place, and business purpose of the travel rather than itemizing every meal receipt. Rules vary by country and employer, and lodging sometimes still needs a receipt, so check the specific policy that applies. A clean trip log like the paid tracker keeps you covered either way.
A ready-to-use spreadsheet (Excel & Google Sheets): per-diem totals from days and rates, a per-trip log with location and purpose, and period totals for reimbursement or tax — delivered instantly after checkout. AI-assisted, human-built; not tax advice.
