The idea came from a personal moment: someone asked me to join a "quick 15-minute meeting," and I did the math at my salary, that meeting cost me $6.77. It reframed my whole day. Most "quick things" aren't quick.
So I built a free calculator that turns any salary into something you can actually feel: what your time is worth per second, per minute, per hour and what everyday things really cost. A 15-minute meeting. A 5-minute distraction. A 30-minute daily habit (that one quietly adds up to thousands per year).
