Real Hourly Wage — Truth Rekenmachine

From "Your Money or Your Life" (Robin & Dominguez, 1992). Your nominal hourly wage = gross salary ÷ paid hours. Your real hourly wage = (net salary − job-related expenses) ÷ (paid hours + commute + prep + decompression + weekend overflow). Most workers find their real wage is 40-60% lower than their nominal wage. The number is your decision input for buying, side-hustles, and career changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the concept?
From the 1992 book "Your Money or Your Life" (Vicki Robin). Your nominal hourly wage is what HR tells you. Your real hourly wage is what your time-and-energy actually nets you per real-world hour. Most people earn 40-60% less than they think.
Is this fearmongering?
Nee — it's framing. The point isn't that work is bad. The point is: if you're considering buying a €600 jacket, your real wage tells you "this costs me 47 actual hours of my life", not "9 nominal hours". That's a different decision than the salary lookup suggests.
Why include decompression time?
Because it's real. If you can't do anything energizing for 90 minutes after work because the job drained you, that's 90 minutes the job took. The income only buys back time when you stop attributing time to the job — but the job is already there.
Does this work for remote workers?
Yes — adjust the commute to 0, but bump up the prep/decompression and "work-thinking" if you struggle to disconnect. Remote work often makes the boundary fuzzier, not better. Many remote workers underestimate hidden time costs.
What do I do with this number?
Three uses: (1) Buying decisions — multiply price × actual hours-cost. (2) Side-hustle decisions — only worth it if it pays more than your real rate, not nominal. (3) Career decisions — quitting a "high-paying job" with toxic decompression overhead might gain you net hourly wage at a "lower-paid" calmer one.
