Computational Hedonism — the Whole Life Wealth calculator

The anchor

First, the number you already know.

How old are you? Active income — salary, freelance Pre-tax is fine. This is the scoreboard we're about to contradict — it is never part of your score. Passive income — portfolio, rent, support Someone buys one free weekend — they keep the plans, you work. Lowest price you'd take? Enter 0 if you wouldn't sell at any price. There's no market price for a weekend of your life — so we use yours, and we'll say so in the result.

Agency — Time × Freedom

Whether you're free enough to spend your own time.

Last week, how many waking hours were actually yours to spend?

Decide today to change everything — new city, new work. How long until you're actually doing it?

If you stopped working tomorrow and changed nothing else, how long until real trouble?

Who or what needs something from you every single day?

Name the things you keep doing mainly because of how it would look if you stopped. Type each one. An empty box doesn't count — that's the whole test.

Vitality — Physical × Mental × Time remaining

What your body and mind can actually do.

Physical rewards breadth — the more you can do, the more of the world you can reach. Mental rewards depth — knowledge compounds and keeps paying as the body fades.

Physical things you do regularly Incl. swim, drive — owning a bike doesn't count. Physical things you used to do at a real level, but dropped Of the ones you still do, how many at a real level? Competed, performed, taught, paid. Domains you could hold a genuinely curious hour on with a practitioner Wine, jazz, carpentry, markets, birds — anything, not small talk. …of those, how many could you teach, publish, or be paid for? Sitting-rising test, 0–10 Do it right now. Mile time in minutes Best guess is fine.

Sex — for the mile benchmark only

Connection — the sleepover test

The bonds that make your life real beyond just you.

If you asked, how many people would come stay tonight? Name them first. Right now — not at your funeral, not at your best. Add up how long you've known each of them — total years New close friends in the last 2 years People you see most weeks where hanging out could plausibly happen

Where you live — is the thing you most want to be doing already happening around you? Diagnostic only — this never affects your score. It tells you whether your floor is fixable where you are.
