What this experiment does

Add annual amounts for common running expenses. The tool totals yearly, monthly, and weekly cost.

The share card leans into the joke. Your bank statement does not.

How it works

Sum of the category amounts you enter. Monthly = yearly ÷ 12. Weekly = yearly ÷ 52.

Currency is display-only (euros by default in copy). No tax, inflation, or partner-reaction modelling.
