The time check
What did your time return?
Rewards minus costs, divided by all the time involved. A clearer picture of what an activity was worth to you.
Count the whole commitment.
Setup, survey screening and time spent resolving missing credit still use your time. Include them along with the successful tasks.
(Rewards received - total costs)
÷ total hours spent
÷ total hours spent
Keep the values comparable
Use one currency for both rewards and costs. The calculator does not convert currencies, include taxes automatically, or assume points can already be redeemed.
A negative result is meaningful
It means the costs entered are greater than the rewards. A future potential reward does not cancel a loss already incurred.
