How it works

What this calculation really means

  1. 01

    Set your numbers

    Drag the sliders to match your real situation: how many hours you spend chasing your agency each month, what your time is worth, how long updates typically take, and the average value of a new client.

  2. 02

    We calculate your true monthly loss

    We multiply your wasted hours by your hourly rate. That's the real dollar cost of your time: not just frustration, but money you could be spending on growing your business.

  3. 03

    We compare it against Tuesday

    Your total monthly loss is stacked directly against Tuesday's flat $199/mo rate. If you're losing more than $199 a month to delays and back-and-forth, you'd come out ahead by switching.

  4. 04

    See your exact savings

    The comparison bar shows your monthly savings to the dollar. For most business owners, that's $400–$1,200+ back every month, without changing a single thing about how your site looks or works.

  • Opportunity cost model: the value of your time equals what you could earn or produce during the same period. (Standard managerial accounting principle.)
  • Tuesday Core plan pricing: $199/mo flat rate, as listed at tuesday.is/pricing.
  • Lead value field is informational and is not included in the total because conversion rate data varies widely by business and is not directly verifiable by the user.
FAQ

Questions about this calculator

We multiply your monthly hours chasing agencies by your hourly rate to get your true time cost. That figure is then compared directly to Tuesday's $199/mo flat rate to show your potential monthly savings.
Lead value shows what's at risk when your site is delayed, but assigning an exact dollar figure requires conversion rate data we can't know without access to your analytics. The time cost alone is already a clear, defensible number, and it's conservative.
Yes. Your hourly rate represents the opportunity cost of your time: what you could earn or generate during that same period. Every hour spent chasing an agency is an hour not spent on sales, client work, or operations that drive revenue.
Use their effective hourly rate (annual salary ÷ 2,080 working hours) instead of yours. The same principle applies: their time has a real cost to your business whether it's billed to a project or absorbed as overhead.
A mid-level in-house web developer in the US costs $70,000–$120,000/year ($5,800–$10,000/mo), plus benefits, management overhead, and idle time. Tuesday is $199/mo with no long-term commitment and no minimum hours.
