How Much Is Your Time Worth Calculator
See what your time is worth per hour, per minute, and per day based on your salary and working hours. Use it to weigh opportunity cost—for example how much 30 minutes of scrolling or 3 hours of Netflix costs in your time.
If you earn $60,000 per year:
- 1 hour = $29
- 1 minute = $0
- 30 minutes (e.g. scrolling) = $14
- 1 full workday (8h) = $231
- 1 week = $1,154
- Watching Netflix for 3 hours costs you about $87 in your time.
