## What is TimeBudget?

TimeBudget is a calm, offline calculator that turns any price into the hours you need to work for it. Built for people who want to spend with awareness — and stop blowing money without thinking.

How it works
• Tell TimeBudget your monthly salary, working days per month, and daily hours.
• Tap a category or type any price.
• See instantly: "≈ 3 workdays 4 hours" — the hours of your life this thing actually costs.

Features
— Hourly wage calculator
  Switch between pre-tax and after-tax wage with one tap. Built-in simplified tax brackets for China, United States, Japan, South Korea, United Kingdom, Germany, Hong Kong, and Singapore. Or set a custom effective rate.

— 378 preset categories
  Coffee, phones, rent, flights, gym memberships, luxury bags, vacations — tap any one to see your time cost.

— Wishlist with hour progress
  Add things you're saving up for. Track hours earned day by day.

— Cute share cards
  Export a minimal, cartoon-style summary card to remind yourself or share with friends.

— Full bilingual
  Switch between English and Simplified Chinese with one tap. All 378 categories, tax names, and UI translate instantly.

— Zero tracking, fully offline
  No account. No internet required. No third-party SDKs. Your salary stays on your device.

Who it's for
• Young professionals questioning impulse spending
• Freelancers budgeting against hours
• Couples negotiating purchases in "working days"
• Anyone who wants to turn "this is expensive" into a precise number
