I don't think this is a reasonable way to think about it. You are getting 20% more *per hour* but that isn't the same as a 20% pay bump. It doesn't help you afford a house, raise kids or buy luxuries. (Unless you use that extra 20% time to find a different job that pays similar). Personally I would switch to a 4 day week with 20% less salary. I would probably even be more than 80% of my current productivity because I'm definitely less productive on many Fridays.

The pay might be the same but you’d have more time for other things, which could include more work. One reason I stopped consulting on the side was a lack of time. Even my hobby projects have taken a backseat these days. I imagine some people would choose to work a part time job or learn a new skill, which would increase their income potential in the long run.
