Compare Cost per Wear Before Your Next Clothing Purchase

Enter the purchase price plus the care and repair costs you choose to include. Separate costs already paid from estimates.

Start with your own situation

Enter the purchase price plus the care and repair costs you choose to include. Separate costs already paid from estimates.

Work through the record

Divide the total by a positive number of wears. Compare a conservative and a more frequent-use scenario without treating either as a prediction of garment durability.

Your printable worksheet

Use one sheet per cost per wear comparison record. Fill these fields: Item / purchase / care / repair / actual or estimated wears / resulting cost per wear. Leave missing information marked unknown; do not silently substitute an estimate.

Make the next decision

A zero-wear item has no defined cost per wear. Use the result alongside your budget and preferences rather than as a reason to invent future occasions.
