The later cost of a repeating spend

Small habits add up. 10yearstime turns a daily coffee, a weekly treat, or a monthly subscription into a clear picture of what that money could become over time — so you can choose with eyes open.

It is not a bank, budget tracker, or financial advice. It is a simple calculator for opportunity cost: cash spent today versus what that cash might grow to if it were invested instead, over a horizon you pick.

Calculate

Enter an amount and how often you buy it. See cash spent, growth missed at an illustrative return, and the total later cost over 5–30 years.

Scan

Point the camera at a shelf price. OCR locks the number, then shows daily, weekly, monthly, and one-off later costs so you can tap through to Calculate.

Cut back

Model skipping or reducing a habit. Compare cash you keep with what that same money could become if invested at a savings, low, medium, or high illustrative rate.

Goals

Add up habits and cut-backs into a long-term total, set a goal, and see progress by category — including how much of the total is growth missed.
