Flight Crew FAQs
Free Per Diem Calculator
The Watson CPA Group has developed this free per diem calculator. While this is generally used for taxpayers in the aviation or airline industry, all travelers might find it beneficial. If you need per diem rates including lodging, we suggest reviewing our Per Diem Methods and Rates page.
Pilot per diem and flight attendant per diem is typically a great tax deduction, when it's computed and deducted properly. If the Watson CPA Group prepares your flight crew tax returns, we compute your per diem allowance and deduction for you at no additional charge. No worries- We encourage Do-It-Yourselfers to use our program for a free per diem calculation.
International destinations except Canada, Mexico and Caribbean are not available in this calculator. If an airport is not listed, we will be notified by our web site, and we'll add it right away. For pilots and flight attendants who have international destinations, we recommend www.perdiemcalc.com.
Once you enter your flight schedule, you can print the report, email the report to yourself or send the report to us for tax preparation. We hope you enjoy this nifty airline per diem calculator.
