How Much Is Your Time Worth? (lemmy.ml)

I spend a lot of time fixing things, for myself and others. (Computers, electrical, plumbing, etc). While I learn a lot, I wonder sometimes if it would be better to pay a professional and do something else for which I am more 'valuable'. Do you do the same, and do you find it worthwhile?

$100 per hour.

The company I work for makes roughly 10m in revenue.

There are 2000 work hours in a year.

There are 50ish total employees.

So 10m÷2k÷50=100.

I dont know if everyone at the company contributes equally to revenue. For example, if you are an engineer or in design work or QA, I assume you contribute much more than middle management or supervisors.
