What is the per diem rate in Michigan?
The standard federal per diem in Michigan is $181 a day for FY2027 ($113 lodging, $68 M&IE), but 11 locations carry higher rates, led by Traverse City at up to $235 a night. The rates apply through September 30, 2027.
After Traverse City, the highest-rate Michigan locations are Petoskey (up to $230 a night) and Mackinac Island (up to $197 a night), plus 8 more. Rates follow the county, so a town inside a listed county gets that county's rate. Every other place in Michigan uses the standard $181.
Lodging in some Michigan locations changes by season. Petoskey peaks at $230 from June 1 to August 31 and drops to $123 from November 1 to May 31.
