A WFH veteran 14 of the last 18 years. You will save between $7 - $13k on dry cleaning, gas, oil changes, tires, and eating out. My improved mental health that WFH brings is priceless.
It's huge for me. I help take care of my aging parents and they really need me around the house most of the day. I would probably take a substantial pay cut in order to stay home with them.
Massive. At least $20,000+.
I cannot stand WFH.. because the other person in my household doesn't respect I'm actually working and cannot be her über driver at the drop of a dime.
But hey, when in Rome.
To me it's become non-negotiable because of how much commuting takes a toll on me physically and mentally. I'd be willing to take a pay cut if I needed to to keep my WFH position.
Echoing the $20k comment. I've purposely stayed in my current role to remain wfh in a small town when I know I can get a higher salary and career growth elsewhere (those places may be hybrid or full time in office and in different cities).
For me, full WFH is worth a lot. Maybe $15–20k when you count commuting costs, time saved, and peace of mind. If the base pay is the same, moving from in-office with travel to fully remote is a big quality-of-life upgrade. I’d view that flexibility as part of my compensation. What’s your biggest concern?
Why are people continuing to ask this question. I’ve seen it posted at least four times.
Feels like a personal decision
