Calculate the daily travel allowance for one trip: the amount per day and the total in the scheme's currency, with the partial-day fraction and the meal deductions the scheme's own rule applies. Free and unlimited.
Input schema
| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| scheme | string | yes | "pl" Polish delegation regulation, "uk" HMRC benchmark scale rates, "us" GSA CONUS standard |
| destination | string | yes | Country or locality, e.g. "Germany", "Poland", "United Kingdom", "United States" |
| start | string | yes | When the trip began, ISO 8601 WITH a zone: "2026-03-28T22:00:00+01:00", or "2026-03-28T22:00" together with timezone |
| end | string | yes | When it ended, same form as start. It must be after start as an instant |
| timezone | string | no | IANA id such as "Europe/Warsaw". Required when start or end carries no offset; also the zone the US scheme counts calendar days in |
| meals_provided | array | no | Per day, in order: the free meals the traveller was given that day, e.g. [["breakfast"],["breakfast","lunch"]]. Each one reduces that day's allowance by the scheme's own percentage or amount |
| meals_provided_daily | any | no | The same free meals on every day. Ignored for any day that meals_provided already names |
| lodging_nights | integer | no | Nights of accommodation. What this pays depends on the scheme and the answer says so |
| late_evening | array | no | UK only, per day: the journey was ongoing at 8pm and a meal was bought after it, which adds the 10.00 GBP supplement |
| fiscal_year | string | no | US only, e.g. "FY2025". Defaults to the current bundled fiscal year |
