Frequently Asked Questions
How is the value of unpaid work calculated?
This uses a replacement-cost approach: Weekly Replacement Cost = Unpaid Work Hours x Market Replacement Rate, the cost of hiring someone else to do that work. A separate 'If I worked' figure shows what you'd earn at your own wage instead.
What counts as unpaid work?
Typically meal preparation, cleaning, laundry, child care, schoolwork help, adult care, pet care, transport, home repairs, and gardening -- tasks with real market value that go uncompensated when done for your own household.
