Frequently asked questions
How does the calculator work?+
You enter conflict details: duration, time, money, and impact. The calculator estimates total cost across financial, time, productivity, and health categories — then projects future costs and compares to resolution.
Are the estimates accurate?+
Financial and time costs are from your inputs. Productivity uses 15-35% loss from presenteeism research. Health uses $1K-$2.8K/year from sleep disruption studies. All conservative and clearly labeled.
What counts as 'time spent' on a conflict?+
Active time (calls, emails, legal research) plus rumination (thinking, worrying, venting). Research shows 2.8 hrs/week average, but personal disputes can be 10-20+ hrs/week.
