While being very similar they are different. Honorariumis an ex gratia payment made to a person for their services in a volunteer capacity or for services for which fees are not traditionally required. It's compensation for services that don't have a predetermined value. Examples are payments to grade school sports coaches or refs, or to guest speakers at conferences. Per diem literally means per day, is a daily rate of any kind of payment, a specific amount of money that an organization allows an individual to spend per day, to cover living expenses in connection with work. Many U.S. companies and organizations use the per diem rate guide published by the General Services Administration. It isn't supposed to be tied to a salary. The IRS set the maximum amounts of per diem each year based on location. (for example New York City has a higher rate than say Peoria, IL) It's listed on a W-2 separate from taxable income, under Misc. non taxable. Any trip for work (tour of duty) adding up to 500 miles counts as a per diem. You can not claim up to the per diem limit without receipts.

Hope that help clear it up for you!
