How it works
- Enter how many cigarettes you smoke per day and the price of a pack of 20.
- The tool works out your cost per cigarette and multiplies it across daily, monthly, and yearly totals.
- A 10-year projection shows the compounding effect over time.
The formula
Cost per cigarette = pack price ÷ 20. Daily cost = cigarettes per day × cost per cigarette. Yearly = daily × 365.25 (accounting for leap years).
FAQ
Why 30.44 days for a month?
That's the average month length across a year (365.25 ÷ 12), which gives a more accurate monthly figure than assuming every month is exactly 30 days.
Does this include healthcare or insurance costs?
No — this is purely the direct cost of cigarettes themselves, not any downstream health-related expenses.
Can I use this for vaping or other products?
It's built around per-cigarette pricing, but you can approximate other products by entering an equivalent daily cost and treating "per pack" as your typical purchase unit.
Is my information stored or sent anywhere?
No — every figure is calculated locally with simple multiplication as you type.
