Workflow
Formula Tool
[Distance] = ST_Distance([Office Point],[Home Point],"Mi")
[Travel Time to office] = [Distance] / [Avg Speed to Office Miles/Hour]
[Daily fuel cost] = [Distance] * ([Fuel Price $/Gal] / [Miles/Gal]) * 2
[Daily Vehicle maintenance cost] = [Distance] * [Maintenance Cost $/Mile] * 2
[Annual Days in office] = Max([Days/Week In Office] * 52 - [Days Off/Year], 0)
// [Annual Days in office] could be more if holidays fall on remote work day?
[Annual Fuel Cost] = [Daily fuel cost] * [Annual Days in office]
[Annual Vehicle Maintenance Cost] = [Daily Vehicle maintenance cost] * [Annual Days in office]
[Annual Travel Time] = [Travel Time to office] * [Annual Days in office] * 2
