The site asks you a series of questions like, your hourly rate, how long you'd wait in line for a giveaway and how much extra you would pay to save an hour. it averages your answers and calculates your time's value.
Using your own dollar amount, the results will tell you things like "If you think about your purchase for over 15 minutes, don't buy it" or "Only hire someone to do your chores if they charge less than $15 per hour."
