Mental Load Calculator

Compare planning and follow-up with the visible work, one responsibility at a time.

Answers stay in this tab’s memory and disappear on reload or when you leave the page. No answers, results or labels are sent to a server; nothing is saved automatically. Standard site analytics may count page and tool usage without your answers. Printing uses your device’s dialog.

Scoring method and limitations

Each applicable stage is one point. Equal sharing gives each adult 0.5 points. Stages handled by another person remain in the total; not-applicable stages are excluded. The three management stages are calculated separately from execution. Responsibilities are not weighted by time, frequency or difficulty. Percentages describe only your answers, not your entire family life or health.

For a recent typical week, choose who carries each stage. A and B are labels, not gender roles. If you parent alone, the other-person option can represent support; a two-adult tool does not describe your whole situation.
