Reality Cheque

About

Reality Cheque makes online prices feel real. It turns the cost of buying something into a measured decision, so you can go ahead and buy it anyway, but do so with intention and courage! 

Every price tag is framed in terms of pay-check impact, work hours, and smarter alternatives for the same product provided in a single hover.

  - See every price as work-time and pay-check impact right on the page.
  - Hover for a clean tooltip with context plus quick “maybe don’t buy this here” alternative links.
  - Handles multi-currency browsing with conversion based on active rates.
  - Optional affordability context and purchase tracking on click to keep your monthly spending honest and budget.

Privacy-first: your salary and purchase context stay in your browser storage:
