We've developed a comprehensive suite of user-friendly tools designed specifically for U.S. Foreign Service members to help you plan your move with financial clarity. Our allowance calculator provides instant estimates for your Temporary Quarters Subsistence Allowance (TQSA), Wardrobe Allowance, and Miscellaneous Expense Allowance (MEA) and more. Each calculator is designed to reflect the latest Department of State Standardized Regulations (DSSR) and uses up-to-date data, including the current Foreign Service pay scale and GSA per diem rate caps. For maximum transparency, you can view a detailed daily breakdown for your TQSA or export your estimates to an Excel (.xlsx) file for your records.
