Invisible Labor Calculator
The full picture — every kind of unseen work that keeps a household running, and how much of it lands on each of you.
The mental load is one slice of a bigger picture. Invisible labor is all of the unseen work that keeps a home and family going: the physical tasks nobody notices until they stop, the planning, the emotional upkeep, and the endless administration — forms, renewals, appointments, returns.
This is the widest of our assessments. It covers more ground than the Mental Load Calculator on purpose, so you can see not just that the load is uneven, but which kind of work is most out of balance. It runs in your browser and saves nothing.
Ready when you are
30 short questions, one at a time. For each, you will say who does it — and whether you are the one who has to remember it. There are no wrong answers, and you can go back anytime.
Common questions
How this tool works, and what happens to your answers.
Any work that keeps the household running but goes unnoticed and uncredited. That includes physical tasks done quietly, the planning and remembering of the mental load, the emotional work of keeping everyone okay, and the administration of modern life — insurance, forms, subscriptions, appointments, taxes.
