This number isn't your fault

The so-called ADHD tax is a known pattern: people with ADHD often pay more for forgetting, being late, or buying twice, because the brain handles time and attention differently. It's not a character flaw. With external anchors, fixed reminders, and the right medication, that number can drop a lot.

This estimate is rough and just for you. Nothing is stored, nothing is shared, nothing is analysed.

No – it's an estimate, not a study result. The term "ADHD tax" comes from the community and describes lived extra costs. Use the number as orientation, not as a diagnosis.
External structure instead of more discipline: fixed reminders, direct debits, visible spots, routines. DopaLoop is built around these strategies – without streak pressure or guilt.
