Social Media Regret Calculator
Social Media Regret Calculator
Regretly turns social media use into a clear baseline: years lost, hours gone, opportunity cost, and shareable Regret Score.
What Regretly Estimates
Regretly turns daily usage into years, hours, opportunity cost, and a 0-100 Regret Score. The result is directional, personal, and built to help you decide what to change next.
- Estimate the cost of Instagram, TikTok, X, Facebook, and similar platforms.
- Get a non-diagnostic interpretation label.
- Challenge friends to see who can score lower.
How We Estimate This
Time lost = daily hours x years with habit x 365.25
Opportunity cost = time lost x estimated hourly value
Regret Score = usage intensity + accumulated loss + life share
Sources
Figures are directional and vary by country, age, platform, and lifestyle. Regretly uses public screen-time and digital-behavior context from sources such as DataReportal, Pew Research Center, and GWI, then calculates your personal estimate from your own inputs.
