Chore Wars Calculator Information

The data calculations used within the Chore Wars calculator have been sourced from Department of Sociology, University of Oxford.

Further information:

1. The Chore Wars Calculator allows users to input information on time spent by the entrant and their partner or housemate on various household chores including

• cooking
• cleaning
• laundry
• grocery shopping
• DIY
• admin

2. The Chore Wars Calculator asks for enjoyment level for each chore.

3 - The Chore Calculator allocates a value of ‘high’ or ‘low’ to the amount of chores done. This has been calculated using UK research data on median hours spent on paid work and housework per week by anyone living with their spouse or civil partner.

Chores: low = less than 9.49 hours per week, high = more than 9.50 hours per week

Paid Work: low = less than 36.49 hours per week, high = more than 36.50 hours per week

4 - In order to calculate the number of hours of free time we ask how many hours of paid work and childcare is done each week. The calculations assumes people sleep 8 hours a day.
