Hours of work calculator

Turn any price into the hours you work to pay for it. Use your take-home pay, after tax, for an honest answer.

Your pay

Why think in hours?

Prices are easy to ignore; hours of your life are not. If you take home $22 an hour, a $250 jacket is about 11 hours, more than a full working day. Some things are worth that. Seeing the number makes the choice deliberate.

Take-home pay is what lands in your account after tax and deductions. With a yearly figure, we divide by 52 weeks and your weekly hours.
