I was told to reimburse myself for gas, food lodging while I drove over 1300 miles one way. Then there was the physical labor to packing moving them, boxes, close, excetra! Cleaning he house, running errors, taking them places when needed for two months. PS mentioned I think .54 cents on the mile, but what about where and tear on my car it's almost at 80,000.00 miles I probably put close to 3500 miles on it since I left drove around up there and came back. Anyone have a day rate, or how do you figure something like this?
The government average per diem rates for meals and lodging go by zipcode. I am in 14150 so the per diem rate is $107. Go to http://www.gsa.gov/portal/category/100120
and enter the zipcode. Bear in mind that per diem does not include the mileage you drove. It's just meals and lodging per day.
