    Work from Home Savings Calculator    
    This business case outlines the benefits of moving from a work arrangement where the majority of time is spent on site (e.g. 15-20 days per month) to less time on site (e.g. 5 days or less / month).

Option 1
is your 'Mainly On-site' baseline. It assumes you spend most of your time on-site and incur these expenses to generate your annual income.

Option 2
is your 'Mainly at Home' option. This can be used for a 100% remote position or a hybrid option where you only spend a few days per week or month on-site.
