Daily rate and per diem

Daily rate

The Daily Rate is what you charge per day. It's required, and it's charged for every calendar day from the trip start date to the end date, counting both. A trip from March 14 to March 17 is 4 days.

RON days and days with no flight legs are still charged at the daily rate.

Per diem

Turn on Bill Per Diem on the trip and enter a Per Diem Rate. Per diem is then charged for every day of the trip, as its own line per day. Turning Bill Per Diem off clears the rate.

Leaving days off the invoice

The trip itself always counts every day. You choose which days to bill when you create the invoice: the Work Days table has one Day Rate line for every day — and one Per Diem line per day if per diem is on — each with an Include checkbox. Untick any day you don't want to bill, and edit the description if you like. See Create an invoice.

Where to see the totals

• The trip's summary shows the day rate × days, per diem, approved receipts, mileage, and the Estimated Total.
• The Work Days Preview on the trip lists each day with its description and the day rate.
• The Trips list shows day rate plus per diem × days for each trip (receipts and mileage aren't included there).

To change a rate, tap Edit Trip. See Edit or delete a trip.
