Unpaid Work Calculator

Unpaid work calculator estimates the financial worth of housework without compensation, including tasks such as cooking, laundry, cleaning, and more.

How to calculate unpaid work

To calculate the monetary worth of unpaid work, start by tracking the hours spent on household tasks.

For instance, if you spend 12 hours per week cooking, 5 hours on laundry, 4 hours cleaning, 20 hours on child care, and 5 hours gardening, your total hours spent would be 46 hours.

Next, input your estimated hourly rate, assuming you were employed.

For example, if your rate is $25, the calculated economic worth of your unpaid work is:

$25 x 46 = $1150.
