Net Worth Comparison

How it works

This calculator helps visualize the relative value or "feeling" of spending money between two different income or net worth levels.

1. Enter a high reference salary/net worth (e.g., a billionaire's).
2. Enter an amount that might seem trivial for them to spend.
3. Enter a second, likely lower, salary/net worth (e.g., your own).
4. Click Calculate.

The result shows what dollar amount, relative to the second salary, would represent the same proportional "hit" or significance as the original amount did to the first salary.

Calculation:

It calculates the proportion: (Amount / Salary 1). Then it finds the equivalent value for the second salary: Proportion * Salary 2.

This aims to put large expenditures by the very wealthy into a relatable perspective for someone with average means.
