The example is fixed while your live result above changes. Differences in display rounding do not change the underlying calculation.
How to use
Start with the most uncertain input
Compare three scenarios
Compare conservative, baseline, and optimistic cases instead of treating one result as a forecast.
Save and verify
Save the assumptions and update them when measured data becomes available.
About this calculation
How is this calculated?
Monthly value = office days × (daily transport + extra food + commute minutes ÷ 60 × hourly value).
What does this estimate exclude?
The result combines cash costs and time value. Enter costs after any reimbursement; career benefits and office conditions are outside this model.
