Amount of Rent For Reimbursement I have a business and I work from home. My accountant says I can reimburse myself for a portion of the rent I pay ( **$1,500** ). How can I calculate the money I can reimburse based on the amount of space I occupy while I am working ( **25 square feet** out of a total **840 square feet** ) and the time that I use that space ( **40 hours per week** ).

I assume that \$1500 is for 28 days. The rent per hour is \$1500/(28 days*24hours/day), so the rent for 4 weeks of 40 hours is $$\$1500\frac{4\cdot 40}{28\cdot24}$$But this is for the entire surface. You are using only 25/840 of it, so the final answer is $$\$1500\frac{4\cdot 40\cdot 25}{28\cdot24\cdot 840}$$
