Smoking Cost Calculator
See what a smoking habit costs per day, week, month, year and decade from your cigarettes per day and pack price. Calculated in your browser.
Cost per year
-
How it's worked out
The daily cost is your cigarettes per day divided by the pack size, multiplied by the price of a pack. That daily figure is then scaled up across a week, month, year and decade.
daily cost = (cigarettes per day ÷ pack size) × price per pack
Figures assume a steady habit and a fixed price, so they’re a rough guide rather than an exact total. Everything is computed in your browser, nothing is entered anywhere or stored.
What this does
A smoking cost calculator shows what a habit costs per day, week, month, year and decade from your cigarettes per day and pack price.
How to use it
- Enter cigarettes smoked per day.
- Enter the pack size and price.
- Read the daily cost.
- See the totals across longer periods.
How it works
The daily cost is your cigarettes per day divided by the pack size, times the price of a pack. That figure is then scaled across a week, month, year and decade.
daily cost = (cigarettes ÷ pack size) × pack price
Understanding your result
The yearly and decade totals are usually the eye-opener, because a modest daily spend compounds into a sum large enough to reframe the habit as a financial decision, not only a health one. This counts the cigarettes alone, not the added costs in higher insurance premiums and healthcare over time, so the true lifetime cost is higher still.
Example
20 a day at £12 a pack is about £12 a day, roughly £4,380 a year.
