The US Department of State sets per diem rates for every foreign location and revises them monthly. They are binding for US government civilian travel, and many companies, universities and contractors adopt them as their own travel policy limits.

What does the meals and incidentals rate cover?

Breakfast, lunch, dinner and small incidental costs such as tips and laundry. When a meal is provided, the State Department deducts a fixed share: 15% for breakfast, 25% for lunch and 40% for dinner, leaving 20% for incidentals.
