The DoD (DTMO) per diem rate for Other Locations, Hawaii for fiscal year 2026 is $163/day M&IE plus a lodging cap of $242/night. Here is the full breakdown — and how much of your M&IE you keep.
M&IE is a flat daily allowance — spend less than this and the rest is yours to keep, tax-free and receipt-free. First and last travel days are paid at 75%.
Lodging: reimbursed at actual cost up to $242/night — capped, no upside.
Monthly lodging cap
The lodging cap for Other Locations is a flat $242/night across all of FY2026.
M&IE breakdown
- Full travel day: $163
- First & last calendar day of travel (75%): $122.25
M&IE covers meals and incidental expenses. It is paid as a flat daily amount, so if you spend less than $163 on a given day, the difference is yours to keep. If a meal is furnished (for example, a conference-provided lunch), that meal's portion is deducted from the daily M&IE.
