The money leak check

Eight questions. Then you know what these eight items take out of your year, how many working hours that is – and which single move to start with.

We ask for amounts YOU consider avoidable. We assume no average household and estimate nothing about you – the number at the end is yours, not ours.

The eight leaks

One item per question. What you do not know, you leave empty.

Unused subscriptions
Delivery and eating out
The daily habit
Account fees
Overdraft and card interest
Devices left running
Contracts you never checked
Paid for and barely used

Question 1 / 8 Subscriptions and memberships you barely use – what do they cost together per month? Streaming, gym, cloud, magazines, software. Only what you touch less than once a month.

Question 2 / 8 Delivery and eating out – how much of that per month could you cover another way? Not dinner with friends. This is about ordering out of tiredness.

Question 3 / 8 The small daily habit – coffee out, snacks, energy drinks: what does it cost you per month? Be honest: amount times days. This is not about giving it up, it is about knowing the number.

Question 4 / 8 Account and card fees – what do you pay per month? Monthly maintenance, card fees, charges for transfers or withdrawals.

Question 5 / 8 Interest on overdraft, credit card, or installments – what do you pay per month? It is on your statement. Not the repayment – only the interest.

Question 6 / 8 Devices running around the clock without being used – what do you estimate per month? Standby, old second devices, a server under the desk. If unsure, leave this empty and work it out with the power calculator.

Work it out there

Question 7 / 8 Power, phone, insurance – how much could you save per month by switching? We do not know this number and will not guess it. If you do not have it, leave the field empty – the item still lands in your plan as what it is: a task.

Question 8 / 8 Something you pay for and barely use – second car, parking space, storage, club fees: how much per month? The item nobody thinks of, because it never announces itself: it gets debited and never used.

Optional Optional: what lands in your account per month, after tax? Only used to convert your total into working hours. Without it we leave the line out rather than guess.

This calculation runs on our server and is not stored – neither your result nor your entry.
