The DIY Bill
What doing it yourself actually costs you a year.
Hours a month you spend fiddling with the site, the listing, the posts.
Site builder, hosting, domain, plugins, the stock photo thing you forgot about.
What you pay a freelancer or a mate for changes across a year.
Your charge-out rate, not your wage. An hour on the website is an hour not on a job.
A year of doing it yourself
$5,600
- Your time on it$4,080
- Subscriptions$720
- Paying someone$800
Every number here is one you set. We have not estimated anything on your behalf and nothing is stored. Move the sliders until it looks like your year.
What it is doing
No magic, and no catch.
Move four sliders — hours you spend, what you pay freelancers, what your subscriptions cost, what an hour of your time is worth on the tools — and see the annual total.
How it works, and what it will not do
Arithmetic on numbers you enter yourself. Nothing is estimated on your behalf and nothing is stored. The output is your own figures added up, which is why it is credible.
