Planning ceilings for a single-destination trip: every night at that period’s lodging ceiling, $60.00 M&IE on the first and last days and $80 on each full day in between. Lodging taxes, transport and provided-meal deductions are excluded.
| Travel period | Lodging / night | 3 days, 2 nights | 5 days, 4 nights |
|---|---|---|---|
| – | $115 | $430.00 | $820.00 |
| – | $149 | $498.00 | $956.00 |
| – | $195 | $590.00 | $1,140.00 |
| – | $115 | $430.00 | $820.00 |
Example: 2 × $115 + $60.00 + $80 + $60.00 = $430.00. A stay that crosses a period boundary uses each night’s own ceiling.
