Four-Day Workweek Budget Planner

Your commute, food, and childcare savings, calculated.

Over 35% of remote-first companies have adopted some form of 4-day workweek, and whether it's a genuine financial win for an individual employee depends heavily on the specific arrangement: a compressed schedule (same pay, same total hours, packed into 4 days) versus a reduced-hours deal (fewer total hours, often with a proportional pay reduction). This calculator estimates your own real net financial impact — the commute, meal, and childcare costs saved by having one fewer workday, weighed against any salary change — using your actual numbers rather than a generic industry statistic.

• →Calculates real personal savings on commute, meals, and childcare from one fewer workday per week
• →Models both the compressed (same pay) and reduced-hours (pay cut) versions separately
• →Produces a net annual financial impact combining salary change and direct cost savings
• →Explicitly notes what the calculation doesn't capture — the personal value of the extra day itself
