What’s Your Time Worth?
Posted by Matt Cipriano | 4 Comments
I discovered a new gadget online simply called Your Salary.
It’s simple, you plug in what you make and it runs a clock/calculator function that tallies what you are making per second, per minute, per hour and per day. It even runs it while you are on the site, showing the pennies adding up, turning into nickels, dimes, quarters, fifty cent pieces (why don’t those have a nifty name like “quarters” or “dimes?”) and dollars.
Unfortunately it appears to be on a 24 hour scale (so it is literally telling you the value of every second of your day as long as you are employed), so you only know your worth during a 24 hour day when you worked as opposed to calculating your typical 40 hour week, though as I jumped back and forth between this page, some conversations I was having through IM and just staring at the money I was earning, I did make $1.97.

As with Anna Karina, we prefer to remember the U.S.A as she was in the 1960s.

Or you lost $1.97 by investing it in staring at the web site. I lost $0.58. Or I made it. I spent it on a $0.25 cup of coffee.

Thanks for the great info. I have always wondered what I made every second because it sounds so much better!!

But it’s a misunderstanding of how salary works. Like when my mother complains about having to waste time on the phone with companies that have made grave errors and she insists that her time is worth $25 an hour (or whatever it is). But it’s time she wouldn’t have been paid for anyway.
But I still get that it’s a neat idea, even if the math is simple enough that you could do it yourself. The only mildly interesting thing the site has done is give you a counter.
And Matt, by the way – half dollars.

Half Dollars, right…. Still, doesn’t quite have the same zing as penny or quarter
