More than one rate
There is rarely one perfect answer
WorthMyTime is being built to show several useful measures side by side, because different decisions call for different views of the same job.

Calculator outputs can help you understand trade-offs, but the final judgement of whether something is worth it is personal. Our methodology separates factual calculations from subjective interpretation.
