   Its different because under normal circumstances per diem isn't taxed.

     I thought it wasn’t, recruiter said it wasn’t, but frens higher up on the food chain say it is. Hmmmm

     The IRS/GSA maintains a list of the allowable amounts by zipcode. Its publication 1542 if i recall correctly.

     It's taxed after a year. Iow if you receive per diem for 1 year you don't pay taxes on it. After the first year is over, it's taxed like normal income.

     That would make sense. They’re acting like it’s a flat daily rate they give us, since we’re never working from base it ends up being constant.

     Most of the lower 48 states are covered by the base rate ($166 for FY2024).
     
     There's about 300 metro areas that have a higher rate.
