On many dev jobs you get one meal and free coffee/drinks provided, and furniture gets less worn out if you spend half a day out of the house - also you probably don't need to invest in good (and expensive) office chair, perhaps you don't need any office furniture at all (desk, lamp, bookcases, whatnot). It's a lot of small things that can amount to a lot when summed up...

If you’re freelancing full-time as a software dev, a meal and coffee and a nice desk and chair and computer every few years is a rounding error.
You’re talking about $1-2k per year for someone earning 100x - 300x that.

we're talking about calculating the minimal fee vs expected expenses, as advice for people just starting out... if you're already making 100K - 600K a year you don't need to calculate anything, you're doing great...
