Continuous Hourly Rate

I’ll give you an extra hour of life for $10 — are you interested?

Treating every hour the same whether you’re working/eating/sleeping and subtracting taxes, how much is your time actually worth? What if you only count the hours that you’re awake?

The answer isn’t obvious until you have a baseline for correctly valuing your time.

This tool calculates your CONTINUOUS_$UNIT_RATE over the course of a year where $UNIT is any of the timespans listed below using the following equation:

CONTINUOUS_$UNIT_RATE = NET_INCOME / $UNITS_PER_YEAR

24 HOURS/DAY provides a truly continuous value of your time while 16 HOURS/DAY removes doctor recommended daily allotment for sleep for all units of time smaller than a day.
