Frequently Asked Questions

How is the "time value" calculated?

We divide your annual salary by your total working hours per year (days × 8hrs). This gives your hourly rate. We then multiply by hours spent commuting to show what that time is worth in monetary terms.

How is car cost calculated?

We use real-world UK fuel consumption averages for each car type, combined with HMRC's approved mileage rates (45p/mile for the first 10,000 miles, 25p/mile after) to estimate your true driving cost including depreciation.

What does "% of waking life" mean?

We assume 16 waking hours per day (8hrs sleep). We calculate what percentage of those waking hours are spent commuting each year.

Is this tool free?

Yes. Completely free. No sign-up required.
