What is PCS Per Diem?

PCS per diem is a daily allowance given to military members and their dependents to cover the costs of lodging, meals, and incidental expenses when traveling for a Permanent Change of Station. The per diem rate is set by the government and can vary depending on the travel destination and time of year.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Number of Travel Days $ D $ = 5 days
Per Diem Rate $ R $ = $100 per day

Step 1: Use the per diem calculation formula:

\[ TPD = 5 \times 100 = 500 \text{ dollars} \]

The Total Per Diem Allowance is $500.
