how much does it cost you to get to work?

holymonk · 26 Oct 2014 at 16:55

Nothing and paid to travel

AshD93 · 26 Oct 2014 at 17:06

Not sure exactly for just the commute as I'm always out and about but currently I'm paying 25% odd on fuel.

aardvark · 26 Oct 2014 at 17:08

about 2% based on a yearly bus pass.

DJMK4 · 26 Oct 2014 at 17:11

2 miles there, 2 miles back

Plus I have a road bike when its not raining and warmer.

3.5% per month.

Fifteen minute walk and then a 12 minute public transport journey, then a five minute walk.

Never thought about this before but off the top of my head my petrol is about 8 - 9 % of wage and travel time between 2 - 2.5 hrs per day and thats mainly motorway.

£0.00

7.5% fuel cost by car.

Lt. Manlove · 26 Oct 2014 at 20:24

£200 a month, about 3%.

TommyV · 26 Oct 2014 at 20:25

3 mile round trip. Not even worth working out.

Mind me asking what you do in Hartford to earn 140k gross?

Nothing, every single job I've had has been near where I lived within a 10 minute walk.
Two of my jobs have been 30 seconds away across a road almost ;P It was nice to be able to go home for lunch every day and just chill out, now I don't even get one!

I feel for those having to get up earlier to travel for an hour or more and then getting home even later.

PapaLazaru · 26 Oct 2014 at 20:50

I cycle to work and claim 20p per mile off my tax bill.

HangTime · 26 Oct 2014 at 21:25

About 13% of take home pay, possibly more depending on how many taxis I end up taking. I do get some leisure usage out of my season rail ticket however, as it is quite broad in scope

Squark · 26 Oct 2014 at 21:29

Fuel cost works out to about 1%

NMBlack · 26 Oct 2014 at 21:45

0% as I walk to work. Did the whole commuting into London from the suburbs for a while and hated losing hours of my day stuck with late-running and cancelled trains and tubes, so now I live within 15 minutes walk of work.

Why don't those who drive factor in stuff like MOTs, servicing, tires, etc?

With all that included, my ex's car cost more than double my commuting costs, and I don't think benefits of having a car are worth that (in London any way).

Probably because he only asked for fuel costs

builder22 said:
work out what percentage of your wage you spend on fuel/train tickets etc

But then again he also said

builder22 said:
no need to post how much you make or spend as that's not really the point just the percentage

But a lot have anyway

MadMouse101 · 26 Oct 2014 at 22:45

Car 2%
Bus 0% Get free bus travel

matthab · 26 Oct 2014 at 23:02

Nothing, walk the mile to work...
