A quick visualisation for how much to spend on something that saves you time. For example, saving 5 minutes daily works out to be over 1 hour per month, and is worth up to \\$87/month on a \\$100k salary. isitworththetime.com is based on the much loved xkcd #1205: Is It Worth the Time? How It Works Every task you automate has a break-even point—the maximum you should spend before the cost exceeds the savings. This calculator finds that point. The Formula The value of automating a task is: $$\\text{Value} = \\frac{\\text{Salary}}{2000} \\times \\text{Frequency} \\times \\text{Time Saved}$$ Where $\\frac{\\text{Salary}}{2000}$ gives your hourly rate based on a standard work year. Assumptions Parameter Value Rationale :--------------------- :------ :------------------------------ Work days/year 250 5 days/week, 2 weeks holiday Daily working hours 8 Standard workday Yearly working hours 2,000 How we compute hourly rate Example Earning $100k/year and saving 5 minutes daily : $$\\frac{\\$100{,}000}{2000} \\times 250 \\times \\frac{5}{60} = \\$1{,}042$$ You could spend up to \\$1,042/year (or \\$87/month) on a tool that saves you 5 minutes every workday.
