TOOL 01 · BUYBACK RATE CALCULATOR
Just because you can do something does not mean you should. Too many of us do $10 work with $1,000 energy. Your time is a gift. This is a simple way to steward it well.
STEP 1
Effective hourly rate A
Not available
Annual basis divided by working hours.
Buyback rate B
Not available
Based on not available over not available hours.
A divided by 4.
Hand off anything you can get done for Not available an hour or less.
Formula: A = annual basis ÷ working hours per year. B = A ÷ 4.
Why a quarter? It leaves margin, covers training, and protects quality.
STEP 2
Hours are per week. Possible Agentic hours are a monthly estimate, based on the task budget.
Use a realistic replacement cost, not the cheapest possible option.
