No matter where you live, there are so many benefits to working from home. Omitting your commute can let you get more sleep, save you time, save you gas money and mean you're responsible for less carbon emissions from driving. Plus, which research has found that working remotely can help workers be more productive, reduce stress and even lead to various health benefits, per The Guardian.

All that being said, it can actually be easier to "WFH" in certain states — and a new report by WalletHub sheds some light on which U.S. states are the best for working remotely. Read on for the full list and some more details on the report's findings.

Utah, Delaware and Connecticut Are the Best States for Working From Home in 2026

WalletHub's report declared Utah as the No. 1 state for working from home. The Western state has low electricity prices and widespread access to well-priced broadband (high-speed) internet, which makes telecommuting easy and cost-efficient. Additionally, Utah has a large average home size of over 2,400 square feet, which means residents are more likely to have home offices. In Utah, 18 percent of the workforce currently works remotely, and more than 95 percent could potentially work remotely.

Coming in at No. 2 is Delaware, where residents also have solid access to broadband internet. Average home sizes in Delaware are more than 2,000 square feet, while the median square footage of living space per individual is more than 800 square feet, meaning people have plenty of space to themselves for working remotely. In Delaware, 15 percent of the workforce telecommutes, and almost 97 percent have the potential to telecommute.

And the No. 3 best state for working from home is Connecticut, which features great broadband internet, the nation's most affordable internet prices and an average home size of nearly 2,000 square feet. In this East Coast state, 16 percent of the workforce works from home, and almost 96 percent could potentially work from home.

What Makes a State Good for Working From Home?

To come up with the above list, WalletHub gave each state a ranking out of 100 points, based on a variety of factors across two categories:

• Work Environment: percentage of workers telecommuting, share of potential workers telecommuting, internet access and more.
• Living Environment: electricity prices, average size of living space, internet prices and more.

“Working from home can save people a lot of money on transportation expenses, as well as make their work environment a lot more comfortable and their hours more flexible," WalletHub Analyst Chip Lupo said in a statement. "However, things like energy costs, internet speed, home sizes and how many people live together can greatly impact people’s savings and productivity. While work-from-home jobs can be done anywhere, certain states make the practice much better than others.”
