About TimeWorth

A path connecting working time with the cost of a purchase

Price tags are easy to read. Connecting them to your actual life is harder.

Something may look affordable in dollars, euros, or whatever currency you use. But that same purchase could cost you a few hours at work, several days, or even a couple of months.

TimeWorth is a free calculator that turns a product price into working time. It gives you a clearer, more personal way to understand what you're giving up for a purchase.

How TimeWorth works

Enter the product price, your income, and your usual work schedule. TimeWorth then estimates how long you'd need to work to cover the cost.

The result depends on the numbers you provide, so treat it as an estimate. It won't tell you what to buy. That's your decision. It simply makes the price easier to put into perspective.

Why work time matters

Money can feel abstract. A week at work doesn't.

Seeing a price as working time can help you compare products, plan for something expensive, or pause before an impulse purchase. Sometimes the result confirms that an item is worth the effort. Other times, the number feels a little harder to justify.

Either way, you know what the purchase asks of you.

Another way to look at a purchase

TimeWorth doesn't judge your choices or give financial advice. It adds one useful detail to the price: your time.

And because everyone earns and works differently, the same product won't cost everyone the same amount of working life. TimeWorth makes that difference visible before you decide.
