Calculation Assumptions
Results can differ across apps when compounding or contribution timing assumptions change.
- Your true hourly wage is monthly net income divided by hours worked per week × 4.33 (average weeks per month).
- Opportunity cost assumes the purchase amount is invested today and compounds annually at the selected return rate.
- Taxes, raises, and irregular work weeks are not modeled — this is a simplified estimate.
