Show Price as Hours of your Life
Gets the price displayed on shopping sites and shows the equivalent hours of your life you'd need to work to earn that money.
"That item isn't ₹9,999 — it is 10.5 Days of your life."
Usage
- This script asks a user for their Approximate Annual Salary/Wages/Earning. This value is only stored in your browser's local TamperMonkey/GreaseMonkey DB.
- Based on Annual Earnings and the Price of an item, the average hours required for you to work to buy each item is calculated and displayed.
- A small Reset button also will be added by this Userscript to help you update future increase/decrease in earnings.
- If you shop online, this script will display the hourly value near by the actual price of an item (hopefully to encourage you to spend informed).
- Oversized EMI/instalment prices (e.g. "₹999/month") are automatically shrunk to smaller size so they don't mislead you.
