Cost Per Use Calculator
Estimate cost per use or cost per day for a purchase, item, tool, appliance, or household product.
This calculator helps compare ordinary purchases by breaking a price into repeated use. It should not be used as a moral judgment. A low cost per use does not automatically mean an item is worth buying, and a high cost per use does not automatically mean it was a bad purchase.

Good uses for this tool
Cost-per-use thinking can be useful for household appliances, tools, clothing, subscriptions, kitchen items, hobby supplies, and shared equipment. It works best when the user is honest about how often something will actually be used.
