This is a simple, transparent comparison based only on the numbers you enter — not financial advice.

How do you compare two purchase options fairly?

Price alone rarely tells the full story. Two options at similar prices can mean very different things depending on your income and budget — this tool puts both side by side using the numbers you provide.

Enter a price for each option. If you add your monthly income, we'll estimate the hours of work each one represents, using the same simple hourly-wage method as “Can I Afford It?” — monthly income divided by 160 standard work hours. Add your monthly available money too, and you'll also see what share of your budget each option takes.

The result is deliberately plain: which option is cheaper, and by how much — in money and, when possible, in hours of work. No score, no recommendation.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to enter my income?

No — it's optional. Without it, you'll still see the price difference; with it, you'll also see the difference in hours of work.

Is my income sent anywhere?

No. Every calculation runs locally in your browser and is never sent to a server or included in analytics.

Can I compare more than two options?

Not yet — this tool compares two at a time. You can save a comparison to My DecideWorth and run another.

Is this financial advice?

No. It's a transparent comparison of the numbers you enter, not a recommendation. Use your own judgment for the final decision.
