Last verified: 5 May 2026How much is the work from home deduction?
For 2025-26 the ATO fixed rate is 70 cents per hour worked from home. It bundles your energy, phone, internet, stationery and computer consumables into one rate — so you don't claim those separately. You can still claim the decline in value of a desk, chair or laptop on top. Source: ATO.
