Allowance = full days × daily rate + partial days × rate × partial percentage; deduction applies the selected limitation.
What to verify
The 2025–2026 transportation-industry M&IE special rate is prefilled at $80 but remains editable. Verify tax-home, travel and substantiation rules.
How accurate is this calculator?
It is a transparent planning calculation based on the entered values and stated assumptions. Verify inputs and obtain professional or supplier confirmation where the decision is consequential.
Does it use U.S. defaults?
Yes. U.S. units, terminology, pricing conventions and rules are the primary defaults where location matters.
Is data sent to a server?
No. The calculation runs locally in the browser and does not send entered values to a remote calculation service.
