Working from home costs €43 per month

Working from home costs around 2 euros per day more than working from the office, according to calculations by budget information institute Nibud. For people who work five days per week, 8 hours per day, that amounts to 43.30 euros per month extra, and 440 euros per year. The extra costs come from the consumption of electricity, water and gas, as well as things like extra coffee, tea and toilet paper. Nibud advised people who are currently working from home due to the coronavirus crisis to discuss with their boss whether they can get compensation for the extra costs they incur.Submitted by Janene Pieters on Tuesday, 28 July 2020 - 11:00 https://nltimes.nl/2020/07/28/working-home-costs-eu43-per-month
