oversight in the calculator
Interestingly enough, the calculator doesn't seem to compute the savings in gas, which far outweighs wear and tear on the car. What an amazing oversight.

cost of ownership
John,
I agree with you that depreciation is ultimately the most expensive aspect of ownership. However, in terms of cash out of your pocket on a daily or weekly basis, I would have to put gas costs ahead of depreciation.

...which is the problem.
"cash out of your pocket" is the problem most people have with understanding the costs of things anymore. Gasoline is probably the only thing we buy anymore where we stand there and watch a display wiz past showing us what we're actually paying for something. If only a car displayed all of the other costs associated with it as you drove it, like depriciation, financing costs, etc.
We get upset about fuel prices because we actually see the counter spin up. And yet, that "cash out of pocket" is but a fraction of the ultimate cost of owning a car.

The value of showing up for work
While I recognize and enjoy the benefits of staying one or two days max at home, I don't think the office is coming to its end tho'. In a world that gets more and more complex and fast paced, I think it is useful to go to the office, that is where the business breath, communication takes place and trust is built.
Teleworking is good for outsourcing work that may not be very relevant to the business, but the core? I don't thnk so.
Nothing replaces face to face communication. It's very hard to build trust via skype.
The watercooler is also useful.

home energy costs?
Are the costs of energy usage at home considered in the Telework Calculator? In other words, could one argue that the energy saved at the office is simply equivalent to energy used at the home office?
