Remote work savings

Remote and hybrid work can reduce commuting, meals, parking, and clothing expenses. Home office costs can offset part of that savings, so include both sides before comparing roles.

Time value

Saved commute time is shown separately from cash savings. Treat it as income only when it realistically becomes billable work or paid availability.
