What it does
LifeCost converts any purchase price into the number of work hours it actually costs you — based on your real income, tax rate, and hours worked per week. Instead of seeing "$1,099" you see "52 hours of your life." That reframe changes how spending decisions feel entirely. Features: Real after-tax hourly rate calculation Lifestyle Mode (Frugal / Average / Comfortable / Luxury) Impulse Check, Value Reflection & Smart Insights Shareable result card 100% free, no login, nothing stored
Convert any purchase into work hours, salary impact, and financial reality. Understand what things truly cost before you buy. No login needed.
