WearStreakCost per wear, calculated.
Type what you paid and how many times you've worn it. That's the whole calculator. No sign-up, no email, just the number.
Price divided by wears.
A $120 jacket worn sixty times cost you two dollars a wear. A $30 shirt worn twice cost fifteen. The sticker price tells you what left your account. Cost per wear tells you what you got back.
It's the honest way to compare an expensive thing you live in with a cheap thing you never touch, and it usually flips which one looks like the bargain.
Cheap isn't the price tag.
There's no magic threshold. Everyday pieces drift toward pocket change, occasion pieces stay expensive, and both can be fine. What the number is good at is comparison inside your own closet.
Run it across a few things you own and a pattern shows up fast: the boring workhorses are the best money you've spent, and the exciting purchases are the ones still waiting to earn it.
The division is easy. The count isn't.
Nobody actually remembers how many times they've worn something. You guess, and the guess flatters the things you like the idea of owning.
WearStreak keeps the count for you. Add the price once, tap wear when you put it on, and every item shows its real cost per wear, dropping a little each time. If you're into denim, the same math is half the fun of tracking raw denim.
Questions about the math.
How do you calculate cost per wear?
Divide what you paid by how many times you've worn it. A $120 jacket worn 60 times cost you $2 a wear. A $30 shirt worn twice cost $15 a wear. The price tag tells you what left your account; cost per wear tells you what you got back.
What is a good cost per wear?
There's no universal number. Everyday pieces tend to drift toward pocket change, occasion pieces stay expensive, and both can be fine. The number is most useful for comparing items in your own closet: it shows which purchases are quietly earning their keep and which ones only look good on a hanger.
Does WearStreak calculate cost per wear automatically?
Yes, per item. Add what you paid for something once, and its detail page shows the cost per wear, recalculated every time you log a wear. The number drops a little each time you put it on.
Should I include dry cleaning or repairs?
The classic formula is just purchase price divided by wears, and that's what this calculator and the app both use. If a piece has heavy upkeep you can fold that into the price you enter, but keeping the formula simple is what makes items comparable.
