Common questions
How do you turn money into work time?
We convert your monthly salary and weekly hours into an hourly wage, then divide the purchase price by that wage.
Should I use take-home or gross pay?
Take-home is usually more honest for lifestyle choices. Use the number that hits your account.
Why show a workday in blocks?
Blocks make time feel real. Seeing hours disappear is often clearer than a currency amount alone.
Does this mean I should never buy anything fun?
No. It helps you feel the tradeoff so the purchase is a choice, not a surprise.
