WFH vs Office Commute
Working from home saves more than you think. Total it up: fuel, car wear, time, lunches out, parking, work clothes, daycare, dry cleaning.
FAQ
IRS mileage rate for car wear? +
In 2026, ~$0.67/mile for business use. Covers depreciation, maintenance, insurance, gas. We use that as a rough proxy for total cost of driving.
