Calculating prices in work hours, not dollars

Ever looked at a price tag and thought, How many hours do I need to work for this? Instead of just seeing numbers, what if you could instantly see the cost in terms of your time? That’s why I built Time for Price — a simple browser extension that converts prices into work hours based on your income. Whether you're shopping online or budgeting, it helps you make decisions with time in mind, not just money. Just enter your hourly wage, and the extension automatically overlays the converted value on any product page. No more impulse buys—just instant, clear insight into what something really costs you. We’re launching soon! Join the waitlist at https://www.timeforprice.com/ to get early access.
