How it is calculated

Workstation cost = rent per sqm × floor space per employee + equipment cost per month + other costs per month. The calculation adds up every recurring cost of maintaining one office workstation into a single figure comparable across alternatives.

This cost doesn't include the employee's own salary — it's about workspace infrastructure, not the cost of labor. Employee cost to the employer (salary plus taxes and contributions) is computed separately — the two figures complement each other rather than replace one another.

The cost computed here is handy to compare against the cost of a remote workstation (internet reimbursement, home equipment, and so on) — use the separate office vs remote cost calculator for a direct comparison.
