While the user asked for 2023, the current rates for the 2026 Fiscal Year (effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026) have been established by the GSA. The standard lodging rate for the continental United States (CONUS) remains at $110 per night for most locations, consistent with the 2025 rates. The standard rate for Meals & Incidental Expenses (M&IE) is $68 per day. However, in roughly 300 "Non-Standard Areas" (NSAs) like New York City, San Francisco, or DC, these rates are significantly higher to account for local market costs. For example, during peak seasons, lodging rates in major hubs can exceed $300, and M&IE tiers can go up to $92. If looking specifically back at the 2023 fiscal year for historical comparison or back-dated claims, the standard lodging rate was $98 and the standard M&IE was $59. Federal travelers are reminded to use the GSA’s mobile app or website to look up the specific ZIP code of their destination to ensure they are using the correct, geographically-adjusted rate for their travel dates.
