How it works

Your ad exposure

Tell us how much you watch. We calculate how many hours of ads you sit through every year, and the number might surprise you.

Your time = money

What is an hour of your free time worth? We convert your annual ad time into a real euro amount.

The verdict

A clear yes or no with the exact math, so you can stop wondering and start deciding.

Why this is free

Last year I was watching a 3 hour video essay at 1am. The kind where you are completely locked in: headphones on, lights off, lost in it.

Then a double unskippable ad hit right at the climax. A car insurance ad. Twice. I sat there staring at the screen thinking: "Is Premium worth it? Like, actually?"

So I did the math on the back of a napkin. The answer was so obvious I felt stupid for not doing it sooner.

I built this calculator so you can do the same math in 2 minutes instead of doing napkin arithmetic at 1am. It is free because the answer should be free.
