How much should a TeleCommuter be paid?
The cost of living drives salary demand. TeleCommuters who live in lower cost of living areas have an advantage because they can offer substantial salary savings to employers with offices in one of the high cost of living areas.

To get an idea of the savings you could offer an employer, use the Salary Wizard to compare the salaries for your position in both a high and lower cost of living location.
