+# Overview
+
+What are Per Diems? Per diems, short for "per diem allowance" or "daily allowance," are fixed daily payments provided by your employer to cover expenses incurred during business or work-related travel. These allowances simplify expense tracking and reimbursement for meals, lodging, and incidental expenses during a trip. Per Diems can be masterfully tracked in Expensify! 
+
+## How To create per diem expenses 
+
+To add per diem expenses, you need three pieces of information:
+1. Where did you go? - Specify your travel destination.
+2. How long were you away? - Define the period you're claiming for.
+3. Which rate did you use? - Select the appropriate per diem rate.
+
+### Step 1: On either the web or mobile app, click New Expense and choose Per Diem
+
+### Step 2: Select your travel destination from the Destination dropdown
+If your trip involves multiple stops, create a separate Per Diem expense for each destination. Remember, the times are relative to your home city.
+
+### Step 3: Select your Start date, End date, Start time, and End time
+Expensify will automatically calculate the duration of your trip. We'll show you a breakdown of your days: the time between departure and midnight on the first day, the total days in between, and the time between midnight and your return time on the last day.
+
+### Step 4: Select a Subrate based on the trip duration from the dropdown list
+You can include meal deductions or overnight lodging costs if your jurisdiction permits.
+
+### Step 5: Enter any other required coding and click “Save”
+
+### Step 6: Submit for Approval
+Finally, submit your Per Diem expense for approval, and you'll be on your way to getting reimbursed!
