## What is RTO Commute Cost Calculator?

How much does your return to the office actually cost -- and what raise would make it worth it?

No account required. Get your answer in 2 minutes.

The average American worker loses $12,240 per year to RTO costs -- and the typical raise offered alongside a return-to-office mandate covers less than half. RTO Calculator puts a precise, personalized dollar figure on every hidden cost, then shows you the exact raise you need to break even. That number is your Magic Number.

WHAT YOU GET (FREE)
- Full cost calculator across 8 expense categories -- nothing locked, nothing limited
- Your personal Magic Number: the minimum gross raise to make RTO financially neutral
- Daily cost banner: see what each office day costs you vs. working from home
- Share your Magic Number as an image -- built for social media, iMessage, and Slack
- Tax-adjusted calculations: your Magic Number accounts for gross-to-net so the raise figure is real
- Smart defaults pre-filled from national averages -- adjust, don't guess

THE 8 CATEGORIES
1. Commute (car): gas, tolls, parking
2. Commute (transit): monthly pass, per-ride costs
3. Food and coffee: the daily cost gap between office and home meals
4. Childcare: extra daycare, before/after school care, backup sitters
5. Work wardrobe: dry cleaning, professional clothing upkeep
6. Home office savings lost: internet subsidy, electricity, equipment
7. Time value: your commute minutes converted to dollars at your hourly rate
8. Custom costs: add up to 5 additional recurring expenses with labels
