Business travel in Wyoming often looks different than in other states. It might involve a trip to a major resort in Jackson, a visit to the state capital in Cheyenne, or travel across long distances to support the state's vital energy and agriculture sectors. For any of these scenarios, having a clear per diem policy is the most efficient way to manage expenses.
Per diem, a daily allowance covering lodging, meals, and incidental expenses, is the simplest way to manage these costs. This guide will walk you through the federal per diem rates for Wyoming, explain the state's unique legal landscape, and show you how you can automate the entire process for maximum efficiency.
Wyoming Per Diem Rate
Per diem rates for official travel in Wyoming are set by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA). These federal rates are mandatory for federal employees and serve as a common benchmark for private sector companies looking to create an IRS-compliant reimbursement policy.
For Fiscal Year 2025 (October 1, 2024, to September 30, 2025), key rates are broken down as follows:
National Park Gateways and Resort Areas
Wyoming's famous tourist destinations have some of the highest and most seasonally-variable Non-Standard Area (NSA) rates in the country.
- Jackson / Pinedale (Teton & Sublette Counties):
- M&IE: $92 per day
- Lodging: Highly seasonal, with a peak summer rate of $420 per night (June-Sep) and a rate of $212 per night for all other months.
- Cody (Park County):
- M&IE: $74 per day
- Lodging: Seasonal, with a peak summer rate of $190 per night (June-Sep) and a rate of $127 per night for all other months.
