Frequently asked questions

Is DecideWorth free?

Yes, completely. Every tool is free to use, with no account, no email address, and no hidden paywall.

Is DecideWorth financial advice?

No. It provides educational estimates based only on the numbers you enter. For decisions that matter, talk to a licensed financial advisor who knows your full situation.

Is my financial data private?

Yes. Every calculation happens locally in your browser. We don't transmit or store your income, expenses, savings or purchase details on any server.

How accurate are the results?

They're estimates built on standard, documented formulas (see How it works) and the numbers you provide. They're meant to inform a decision, not to be a precise financial forecast.

How many tools does DecideWorth have?

Six so far — covering affordability, real cost, subscriptions, time cost, buy-vs-wait and comparing two options. We'd rather ship tools that are genuinely excellent than pile on mediocre ones, so new tools arrive slowly, built the same way.

Can I use DecideWorth in another language or currency?

The site is available in English and Spanish, each with its own URLs, and every tool supports USD, EUR, GBP, CAD and AUD display formatting.

How do you make money?

Through unobtrusive advertising, clearly marked and never blocking the tools themselves. We never sell user data — we don't collect any to sell.
