Free Office Commute Cost calculator with clear step-by-step results.
Prices hybrid working honestly by counting everything an office day costs: the round trip at a full running cost per kilometre, parking, and the lunch and coffee that are bought out rather than made at home. The marginal figure - one extra day a week for a year - is what makes a return-to-office mandate concrete.
Cost per office day
Daily = distance each way x 2 x cost per km + parking + food
Annual cost
Annual = daily cost x office days per week x working weeks
Fuel alone is typically 10-15 cents; including tyres, servicing, insurance and depreciation puts it nearer 25-45 cents. Use the higher figure for a true cost.
Only the difference. If you would spend five dollars on lunch at home either way, enter the extra rather than the full amount.
