Why people track WFH hours
Many Australians want a clearer way to total work-from-home hours during the year so they are not reconstructing everything from scratch at tax time. The difficulty is not the maths itself. The difficulty is removing the dates that should not count.
Records people usually want to keep
- The date range they are reviewing.
- Which days were office days rather than WFH days.
- Public holidays, leave, and shutdown periods.
- Changes in employment or gaps between jobs.
Where this tool helps
This tool helps with the hours-calculation part. It gives you a practical way to total eligible WFH days and hours after removing weekends, public holidays, office attendance, leave, and job gaps. It does not tell you what you can claim. For that, check current ATO guidance or your tax adviser.
When you are ready to calculate, use the ATO WFH hours calculator.
