TripWorth started with a frustration from doing deliveries: a busy run can still be a poor use of time. One batch paid RM25 for six trips and took around 90 minutes. Another paid RM28 for just two trips.

I wanted a quicker way to assess that trade-off before accepting an offer.

The first version showed too much information. I simplified it around four things: a verdict, estimated net earnings, estimated minutes, and the number of pickup and drop-off stops. Detailed calculations stay available when needed.

I also connected an iPhone Shortcut that extracts text from an offer screenshot and opens TripWorth with that text, removing the manual copy-and-paste step.

The biggest lesson so far: a useful calculator needs to reflect the decision someone is actually making. For me, that means finding shorter, worthwhile runs—not simply checking whether an offer leaves a positive amount after costs.

TripWorth is still an early personal tool. The next step is comparing its estimates with actual trips and refining the assumptions.
