Beyond Payday — True Cost
Prices in hours of your life
Only for Mac

That $249 gadget? It's 7 hours of your life. Beyond Payday shows every price in hours of work — and what the money could become by retirement — as you shop.
Every price tag answers the wrong question. $249 tells you what the store wants — not what the thing costs you.
Beyond Payday rewrites prices in the only currency you actually spend: your time. Browse Amazon, eBay, Walmart, Target, or Best Buy and every product page — and every search result — gets a small pill next to the price: "7.1 hrs of work." Click it and Beyond Payday also shows what that money could grow to by the time you retire, at your own growth rate.
How it works
- Type one number: your take-home pay per hour. That's the whole setup.
- Or connect your Beyond Payday account and use your real income and
retirement plan, computed from your actual paycheck.
- Price ranges are handled honestly: "$89.99 – $129.99" reads
"2.6–3.7 hrs of work", never just the low end.
- Works on product pages and search-result grids, in light and dark mode.
- Turn the badge off per store, or turn listing badges off entirely, from
the popup.
Private by design
- No analytics, no tracking, no ads — the extension contains zero
telemetry code.
- Your wage stays in your browser's local storage. It is never transmitted
anywhere unless you explicitly connect your Beyond Payday account.
- Prices are read on the page, priced on the page. What you shop for is
never sent to us — we couldn't build a browsing profile if we wanted to.
A confidently wrong number is worse than no number, so when Beyond Payday can't read a price cleanly it shows nothing rather than guessing.
