Mifano Iliyotatuliwa

Makosa ya Kawaida ya Kuepuka

• ✕Only counting gas costs and ignoring vehicle depreciation, maintenance, tires, and insurance which the IRS values at $0.67/mile (2024)
• ✕Not valuing commute time — even at 50% of hourly wage, reclaimed commute time is often the largest savings component
• ✕Forgetting to subtract any increased home costs from remote work (higher electricity, heating/cooling, internet upgrade)
