Wages are paid by the hour, so every bill can be measured in hours of paid work. Find out whether a family’s costs fit inside the work week.
These are hours of paid work at your own wage: each cost divided by pay per hour. They are not the HOURS framework’s obligation hours (EOH) or TEH. The market layer, where prices and wages are set, is not modelled in the framework yet, so nothing here comes from its calculations. The figures are US national data, each listed with its source and date at the bottom of the page.
Wages are paid by the hour. Set a wage, choose how many people work, and see whether a family’s costs fit inside their work week. Every setting is saved in the page link, so you can share your numbers.

Each standard is a share of pay, so it converts straight into hours of each earner’s week at any wage. “Actual” is the real cost as a share of pay (of 40-hour pay for rows marked “40-hour base”), and “Change from standard” is the gap in percentage points. “Budget” is what the standard allows at your pay; “Fits” compares it with the actual cost above.
Every value was read into the HOURS repository from the explorer handoff on the date shown. Where no document was cited, the entry says so.
