How much does Dollar save you?Dollar 到底帮你省下多少？
Every time Dollar handles a decision so you don't have to babysit the agent, that's time back in your day. Here's the simple math behind the numbers Dollar shows you — built on the app's real formula, not marketing fantasy.每当 Dollar 替你处理一个决策，你就不用盯着 AI 智能体干活，省下的就是实打实的时间。下面是 Dollar 给你看的那些数字背后的简单算法——基于应用里真实的公式，不是营销话术。
These are the five live metrics Dollar surfaces in the app — sample values shown for illustration.以上是 Dollar 在应用中实时显示的五个指标——此处为示意数值。
Three small numbers, one honest picture三个小数字，一张诚实的账
No black box. Dollar estimates your hands-off time, then turns it into a cost-per-hour and a salary figure using a wage you set yourself.没有黑箱。Dollar 先估算你的「省心时长」，再用你自己设定的时薪，把它换算成每小时成本和省下的工资。
Hands-off time省心时长
A rough estimate of the supervision you didn't have to do:对你「本来要盯着」的监督时间的粗略估算：
0.15h × tasks + 0.03h × files watched
Each task carries a small fixed slice of attention; each extra file Dollar keeps an eye on adds a little more.每个任务都占用一小段固定的注意力；Dollar 多盯一个文件，就再加一点点。
Saved cost / hour每小时省下的成本
How dense your AI spend is per hands-off hour:把 AI 花费摊到每个省心小时上，看它有多「密」：
total spend ÷ hands-off hours
This tells you the spend flowing through every hour you stepped away — so you can judge whether the pace is worth it.它告诉你：你离开的每个小时里，有多少花费在流动——好让你判断这个节奏值不值。
Salary saved (est.)省下的工资（估算）
Your time, valued at the wage you choose:用你自己设的时薪，给你省下的时间标个价：
hands-off hours × your hourly wage
You set your hourly wage in the app. Change it any time — the estimate updates with it.时薪由你在应用里设定。随时可改——估算也会跟着变。
One modest afternoon, step by step一个普通的下午，一步步算
Illustrative numbers only — your real figures depend on your tasks, your files and your wage. Nothing here is a bill.仅为示意数字——你的真实数据取决于你的任务、文件和时薪。这里没有任何一项是账单。
Hands-off time = 省心时长 =
0.15 × 8 + 0.03 × 20 = 1.8h
Total AI spend over those tasks (estimated) ≈ 这些任务的 AI 花费（估算）≈
$5.40
Saved cost / hr = 每小时省下 =
$5.40 ÷ 1.8h = $3.00/h
Salary saved (est.), wage set at $30/h = 省下工资（估算），时薪设为 $30/h =
1.8h × $30 = $54.00
Example only. Actual results vary, AI costs are estimated, and actual billing may differ.仅为示例。实际结果因人而异，AI 成本为估算值，实际账单可能有所不同。
These are estimates — not a bill这些是估算——不是账单
Local estimates, made to help you see value本地估算，只为让你看见价值
Every figure here is computed locally on your machine to give you a feel for the time and money Dollar helps you keep. AI costs are estimated and actual billing may differ — for OpenAI usage, Dollar measures the spend exactly. None of this is an invoice or a guarantee.这里每一个数字都在你本机本地算出，只为让你直观感受到 Dollar 帮你守住的时间和金钱。AI 成本为估算值，实际账单可能不同——对于 OpenAI 用量，Dollar 会精确测量花费。这一切都不是发票，也不是承诺。
Dollar doesn't create these costs这些花费不是 Dollar 产生的
Dollar does not produce these AI costs — it only measures and helps you control the tokens spent per unit of time. It's a supervisor and a meter, sitting beside your agents, asking before risky moves and holding spend up for your confirmation. It is not a replacement for Git, and it doesn't sell you AI credits.这些 AI 花费不是 Dollar 产生的——它只是测量，并帮你控制单位时间内消耗的 token。它是一位「监督员」兼「计量表」，守在你的智能体旁边，遇到有风险的操作会先问你，遇到花费会先停下来等你确认。它不是 Git 的替代品，也不会向你出售任何 AI 额度。
