As usual, there are two sides of the story.
For me, personally, I pay a lot more on:
- food/drinks (Coffee)
- heating of my home office
- Internet (had to upgrade my speed)
I always walked to the office, so I have no saving on gas while the commute was a very pleasant 20m walk.
But then, there are others who save a ton of money on gas and hours on not being stuck in traffic, so the company feels entitled to demand more from you for allowing you to work from home.
The company also of course must maintain at least some rent because a number of people will want to return to the office (I'd think the split is like 50-50).

- BossingAround 5y ago> Fancy coffee is like 6USD a pound Ah? Everywhere in the world? Why thank you, I had no idea! Now, one cup = 20g of coffee (for me, could be more or less depending on your brew method). 2 cups a day = 40g of coffee. 5 days a week, 4 weeks in a month = 800g of coffee a month. Multiply that by 2 since my wife also takes her coffee. Over here, a kilo of the same coffee I got in the office is $50. So that's extra ~$70 a month.
