📌 5 Remote Work Savings Tips
- ✓ Negotiate remote days — even 2 WFH days/week saves 40% of full-remote savings. Use this calculator to build your case.
- ✓ Meal prep at home — cooking lunch at home costs $3–5 vs $12–20 at the office. That's $2,000–3,000/year.
- ✓ Claim the home office deduction — self-employed? You may deduct a portion of rent, utilities, and internet. Check IRS Form 8829.
- ✓ Invest the commute time — 1 hour/day saved = 250 hours/year = 6 work weeks. Use it for a side gig, skills, or fitness.
- ✓ Reduce wardrobe spending — WFH means no dry cleaning, fewer dress clothes, and less wear. Budget $200/year instead of $1,200.
Disclaimer: Estimates are based on your inputs and general averages. Vehicle costs use $0.30/mile for wear-and-tear (maintenance, depreciation, insurance). Actual savings vary by location, lifestyle, and tax situation. Home office setup is amortized over 3 years. Consult a tax professional for home office deduction eligibility.
