Price is Just a Number—Utility is the Truth

We often hesitate at high price tags, yet we mindlessly swipe for “cheap” items that end up in the trash after one week. To truly understand wealth management, you must look at the Cost Per Use (CPU). A $500 pair of boots worn for 5 years is significantly cheaper than a $50 pair that falls apart in a month. The Ahoxy Cost Per Use Tool helps you reframe your relationship with money.

Item Details

Is it worth the price?

Stop the Regret, Start the Logic

Enter the details of that expensive item you've been eyeing to see its true value per use.

What is Cost Per Use?

It’s a simple but powerful formula: Total Cost / Number of Uses = Real Value.

  • The Latte Test: A premium coffee machine costing $700 might seem expensive. But if it replaces your daily $5 coffee and lasts 3 years (approx. 1,000 uses), each espresso costs you just $0.70.

Why You Need This Tool:

  1. Combat “Fast Fashion”: Realize how much you’re actually paying for that trendy shirt you’ll only wear twice.
  2. Justify High-Quality Tools: For professionals (photographers, developers, craftsmen), seeing the “Daily Cost” of a high-end laptop makes the investment much easier to stomach.
  3. Audit Your Subscriptions: Divide your monthly Netflix or Gym membership by the actual times you used it this month. Is it still a good deal?

The Mindful Shopper’s Mantra

Before you hit “Buy Now,” ask yourself: “What will the cost per use be in six months?” If the number is low, it’s an asset. If it’s high, it’s an expense.
