How this estimate works

For each night of the contract we use the GSA lodging rate for that month, because some areas have seasonal rates. Meals and incidentals (M&IE) use the area's daily rate. Agencies set their own stipends, often at or below these rates, and some reduce them for the first and last day. This is an estimate, not tax advice. How housing stipends work.
