Understanding TLA Rates
- To calculate your TLA rate per day for Max Lodging and M&IE (meals and incidentals) please follow the formula below.
- 1 Person 65% (100% Lodging)
- 2 People 100%
- 3 People 125%
- 4 People 150%
- 5 People 175%
- 6 People 200%
- 7 People 225%
- For Max Lodging: $202.00 x Percentage Rate = Daily Max Lodging
- For M&IE: $157 x Percentage Rate = Daily M&IE (This rate is halved if you reside in lodging with an adequate kitchen - Calculate with normal formula then divide by 2)
- If you exceed your daily max, additional costs will be at the expense of the member.
- To calculate Daily Max: $359.00 x Percentage Rate = Daily Max
- If staying in a room with adequate kitchen, Daily Max = Max Lodging + (1/2* Max M&IE)
- IMPORTANT: Each dependent under 12 years of age is an additional 25%. For each dependent 12 years of age or older, add 10% (35%) to the Percentage Rate before initial calculation. For this calculation, DO NOT add 10% for spouse or for the first dependent 12 or older if spouse is not with member at PDS or arriving at a later date.
- Offsets cost of temporary lodging and meals when arriving or departing OCONUS
- Amount of dependents on per diem rate, family size and other variables.
