At least. If you work an 8 hour day, a 0.5 hour commute each way adds an extra 12.5% to work time commitment each day, and it’s considered unpaid time.

And your gas and car wear and tear

Yep, the IRS estimates that it is $0.655/mi in wear and tear on one’s car via the 2023 Mileage Rate.

That depends a LOT on the car.

A small suzuki would be a hell of a lot cheaper than a BMW 7 series.. (not in the price tag, but.. running costs)

Sure, but that is the rate that the IRS has come up with as an estimate/reimbursement amount.
