Frequently asked questions
- How is the hourly rate calculated?
- We divide your annual salary by 2,080 — the standard full-time benchmark (40 hours × 52 weeks). Your money lost per week is that rate multiplied by the hours you procrastinate each work week.
- Should I use gross or net salary?
- Use gross (pre-tax) salary for consistency with how compensation is usually discussed. The goal is to show the opportunity cost of your time, not your exact take-home pay.
- What if my hours vary week to week?
- Estimate an honest weekly average over the past month. One heavy procrastination week and one light week? Split the difference. Consistency matters more than precision.
