Is cheaper rent worth a longer commute?
How this is calculatedThe math
The extra travel is the difference between the two one-way trips, doubled, times your round trips a week, over an average month of 4.3 weeks.
The saving is the rent difference minus what the longer commute costs you each month. Dividing it by the extra hours gives what each hour of travel saves.
