How many hours would you need to work to afford that purchase? Wasted helps you see the true cost of everything you buy, not in pounds, but in hours of your life. SIMPLE & POWERFUL Enter any price and instantly see how long you'd need to work to afford it. We factor in your country's tax rates to show you the real cost based on your take-home pay, not your gross salary. THE PAUSE THAT SAVES That split-second pause before buying can be the difference between a smart purchase and an impulse buy. Wasted gives you that pause by reframing the cost in terms that actually matter - your time. FEATURES • Convert any price to working hours instantly • Automatic tax estimation for accurate take-home pay calculations • Salary calculator if you don't know your hourly rate • Clean, distraction-free design • 100% private, all data stays on your device THE PSYCHOLOGY OF SPENDING Research shows that thinking about purchases in terms of time rather than money leads to better financial decisions. Wasted puts this insight in your pocket. Your time is your most valuable asset. Spend it wisely. Terms of Use: https://tiltedlensacc-star.github.io/wasted-support/terms.html
