Worldwide Per Diem Rates
August 20, 2009
Planning a trip and wondering how much it’s likely to cost? The US Department of State has done the bulk of your homework for you. They list per diem rates (in US dollars) for over 1000 worldwide locations by taking into account the average cost of lodging, meals and incidentals.
Their research is particularly useful because they further break down the per diem rate within the country of interest so you can quickly see which cities are the most expensive ones to visit. On their website you will also be able to check out per diem rates across all 50 states.
At the very least you’ll get a quick snapshot of what to budget for each country that you would like to visit.
