Office days create variable costs
Travel, parking, bought lunches and coffees can scale almost directly with the number of office days. Multiplying the daily amount by 47–50 working weeks exposes the annual effect.
Remote work has costs too
Home working can increase electricity, heating and equipment costs. Include those if they are material, but avoid counting household costs that would exist regardless.
Time is the hidden line item
Remote work can return several hours a week that would otherwise be spent travelling. Whether that has a monetary value is personal, so our calculators let you set it explicitly rather than pretending one number fits everyone.
A hybrid policy can be part of compensation
Two otherwise similar jobs can have materially different effective value if one requires five office days and the other requires two. Treat flexibility as part of the package when comparing offers.
Convert flexibility into salary
Use the hybrid calculator to measure the annual gap, then use the main reverse salary calculator to estimate the gross salary needed to compensate for the more office-heavy pattern.
