Purchase Calc: Worth the Work?
Cost per use & smart spending
Free · In‑App Purchases
Before you buy, see the estimated work hours and cost per use behind a price. Check how the numbers change if you use it less than expected.
Is that purchase worth the work?
Worth the Work? Turns a price tag into practical numbers that are easier to understand. Enter the purchase price, your gross income, how often you expect to use the item and how long you plan to keep it. You’ll instantly see:
• The estimated work hours the purchase price represents
• The expected cost per use
• A half-usage reality check showing what each use could cost if you use the item only half as often as expected
USE THE INCOME FIGURE YOU KNOW
Choose either your gross annual income or gross hourly rate. For annual income, select full-time work based on 40 hours per week or enter your average weekly hours for part-time work. If you are paid hourly, enter your gross hourly rate directly.
THINK BEYOND THE PRICE TAG
Compare electronics, clothing, appliances, fitness equipment, furniture and everyday purchases using more than price alone.
Whether you are comparing two products, considering a major purchase or trying to avoid an impulse buy, Worth the Work? gives you a little more perspective before you decide.
