PauseBuy shows you how many hours you need to work to afford each price as you shop online. You set your income once, and the extension converts product costs into time spent earning it. The idea helps you think twice before clicking buy.

It works quietly in your browser. No tracking and no ads. All calculations happen locally. You see the time cost on sites like Amazon, Walmart, or other stores that list prices.
