There is zero personal or business benefit to me showing up at my office. Zero.
But there are significant intrinsic and extrinsic costs to do so.
No amount of increase will incentivize me to go into the office at all.
This is the way.
What's interesting about many of these replies is that no one REALLY calculates "commuting time" correctly.
At home you get your coffee and in my case, go upstairs to my loft where my home office is. That's it, I am productively at work.
I go into the office, it isn't just driving -- it's all the prep time, eating dressing packing out all at SPECIFIC times based on what type of traffic you want to avoid (or higher costs of metro and other mass transit type commutes)
You have to head out to your car load up etc etc before you ever start driving.
THEN when the DRIVING part of your commute is over there is the park/walk set-everything-up in whatever workspace you have (which may change continually) before you can actually DO anything. So your commute time is way more than whatever Google Maps says the "drive time" is
I'd much rather get on an airplane and go be on a client SITE then ever go back into a local office on a daily basis.
Thissssss‼️
I have not been in an office full time in nearly 15 years - no amount of money - great contacts and things happen in the office but if you want really concentrated deep work that is not pure “busy work” - work from home offers more hours and productivity
$1 b a day. All medical and pharmacy costs paid by company including all OTC and out of pocket expenses. Unlimited sick days. One month paid leave including travel to destinations of my choice. I receive all patents from my work.

I would look for another job if this was the case, it's the time you lose commuting that's the most frustrating, plus the costs. Times have changed and organisations are more in tune with providing good work/life balances nowadays. I can't see any consulting company forcing it's employees back to the office 5 days a week, their staff turnover would be massive over the course of a year or two! People would be burnt out from constant large commutes. Organisations will only get back to 5 days in the office when 95% of their staff live within 10-20 mins of the office.
I would say 100% (duplicating the actual income)
A few bad apples ruined it for everyone. For me personally, my employer got so many more hours and productivity from me as I could easily support India + US time zones without thinking about the commute. Regularly worked after dinner to finish things up from home. If I’m in the office, I have zero interest in socializing as I want to get my affairs done, close the laptop and go home to cook dinner, squeeze in a walk, talk to my family, do laundry - all things I could have done more easily if allowed WFH flexibility.
It’s all about control.
Literally triple so I can take a year off after just one year.
Since my team is scattered across the country and/or the globe, depending the project, there's zero usefulness in being in the office, but, if they want to throw money at me to do so, it would take at least a 50% boost to make it worth my while.
If it was local to my area (no real commute issues), I would say 15%. It would need to be enough to accelerate my savings goals for the loss of flexibility. That amount would be higher if I was in a major metro area with a bad commute dynamic.

30% roughly. I have disabilities that are much easier to manage remotely so itd have to compensate both for the commute and food costs associated with being on site and then for the added difficulty

75%, my office is in California, which would tax me into oblivion with the balance going to the rent.
