Remote work benefits are much bigger than a paycheck

What % of yearly pay would you forgo for each remote weekday allowed?

Pre-Covid I was remote 80%. No real set days in office usually, just sync up with people to come in once a week or less even. Then Covid hit and we were 100% fully remote. Covid subsided and now we are IN office 100%, mandatory. Make it make sense. Also while it was advantageous for both worker and the company to work from home during Covid, the company paid $0 for my home setup. I paid for my Internet and electricity. I upgraded my desk, chair, monitors. While I wanted to do this anyway it benefited the company and they got it completely free.

I did a cost analysis when my work had our RTO mandate (minimum 3days in office). I can easily believe these numbers based on what I was able to calculate for myself (taking into account no salary adjustment for going 100% remote to having a 30 min commute each way, new fuel spending, extra maintenance for the car, dealing with house hold costs like daycare).
