What's your hour actually worth?

Not what you charge: what an hour of your week really earns, and what it costs you to spend it on bookkeeping instead of the work that pays. Map your week and find your delegation line.

Two numbers about you

Owner pay plus the profit that's actually yours. Be honest, this is the whole point.
All of it, nights and Sunday admin included. Owners average 45 to 50; a third work 50 or more.

One honest assumption

50%
Freed hours only pay if they go to the work that pays. 50% is honest; 100% is a fantasy.
Your read, live

Put in your pay, your hours, and where the week goes. The read appears here as you type. Nothing is sent anywhere.

That's the number. It can't tell you why.

The calculator can tell you what the time is worth. It can't see why that time is still yours, or what it would take to get it back. That part takes a few questions only you can answer.

A few questions, then a read

That part is the Checkup. It's ten questions, and it takes about three minutes. Pick whichever answer fits; there are no wrong ones and nothing to write. When you're done, you'll see a plain read on what's behind the number.

Take the Checkup → It's free, and your numbers stay on your screen unless you send them.
