People often overspend without realizing the real value of their money. It’s difficult to intuitively understand how a product’s price translates into one’s own labor, making it harder to judge whether a purchase is truly worth it.
Users first enter their weekly workdays, daily working hours, and either their monthly or annual income. The app automatically calculates their hourly labor value. Next, they input the price of an item they are considering. The app visualizes how many hours of labor the purchase represents, displayed as a pie chart. Saved charts can be referenced later, allowing users to compare items and decide whether a purchase is worth the time they would spend earning it.

The app can adopt a freemium model: basic labor-value calculations and visualizations are free, while premium features—such as unlimited chart storage, advanced comparisons, and personalized spending insights—are offered through a subscription.
