Remote Work Benefits Beyond Money
The average American spends $3,000-15,000 per year commuting to work. This includes gas, parking, vehicle wear-and-tear, and the often-overlooked cost of time.
Remote work eliminates these costs while potentially increasing your quality of life through time savings and reduced stress.
The average commute is 55 minutes round-trip daily. That's 239 hours per year - nearly 6 work weeks of time you could reclaim for yourself.
At a $70,000 salary, your commute time is worth over $8,000 annually. Remote work gives you this time back.
"Studies show remote workers report 24% higher job satisfaction, 20% increase in productivity, and 13% fewer sick days. The flexibility and work-life balance benefits are often worth more than the financial savings alone."
