Time Well Spent — See prices in hours
Replace all prices with time based on your hourly wage.
This extension replaces prices on all shopping websites (Amazon, eBay, Target, etc...) with how many hours you would have to spend working to make enough money to pay that price. This is calculated based on your hourly wage after state and federal taxes. (Idea Credit: Aaron Z. Lewis)

This implementation replaces the number completely so you are not able to see the actual price It does not recognize text strings such as thousand, million

I think this extension is so helpful, HOWEVER, it would be super great if you could also enter the number of hours in your typical workday for very large purchases. For example, I had something up that said it was only going to take 132 days of work to pay off, but multiplied by the typical # of hours in a workday (8), it actually came out to 1056 days! From ~1/3 of a year to almost 3 years! Huge difference in mental framing.

It did calculate prices in all sites I visited but it's not accurate. Everything cheap was 1hr worth of work or anything higher was off by 1.5 hours of work

Real scary looking at all my Amazon purchases using this app. So far so good and it works fine (even with an adblocker enabled), hopefully more compatible sites will be added soon.

This extension also converts all dollars to time, even those within a news story, so that is pretty annoying. Uninstalled because of that. Not sure if using the gross income is appropriate even with thier State/Fed tax rates applied. Should use net income if you really want to know how long it will take as many of us put money into retirement, healthcare, etc pre-tax. There is no way to know what calculations they are using.

Good, but for hourly work you cannot use decimals in the pre-tax income field :(

Not able to use it. Glitches. The screen shakes like crazy and won't allow me to change any of the options. Sounds like a great idea for an extension though.

It could be my computer, but it glitches on me. State select is not a drop down, I had to discover that typing the first letter of my state name is the only way to iterate through until I find my state. The add-on also vibrates back and forth with extreme rapidity when trying to enter salary values, and takes 5+ seconds to save values. There is no way, apparently, to choose anything other than annual income.
