Repair or Replace? A Simple Way to Make the Decision

When something breaks, I often find myself wondering whether I should pay to repair it or just replace it with a new one. I want a simple tool where I can enter the item's age, its repair cost, the price of a comparable new product, and how often I use it — and get a clear recommendation on whether I should repair, replace, or get a second opinion. It would be especially useful for everyday items like washing machines, laptops, phones, TVs, vacuum cleaners, and other household electronics. The goal isn't just to show the numbers, but to explain why one option makes more sense than the other.
