Work hours = price ÷ the country’s median wage (hourly). The price is the local list price where we have one, otherwise the US price as a reference (both in USD) — it won’t match every local retailer or tax, so treat the numbers as an illustration and check the price where you live.

* Wage is a PIP-calibrated estimate rather than a directly sourced figure.
