Smoking Cost Calculator
See how much smoking costs you over time.
Quitting would free up roughly this much money. The yearly figure is what you would save in the first year, and the 5- and 10-year figures show the longer-term total at today's prices.
Estimates only, based on the numbers you enter and today's prices. Prices and taxes change over time. This tool offers general information, not medical advice; for help quitting, talk to a doctor or a local quit-smoking service.

Frequently asked questions
The tool works out the price of a single cigarette by dividing the price per pack by the number of cigarettes in a pack, then multiplies that by how many you smoke each day. The daily figure is scaled to a week, a month, and a year (using a 365.25-day average year so leap years are accounted for), and the 5- and 10-year totals are simple multiples of the yearly figure at today's prices.
No. Every projection uses the price you enter today and assumes it stays the same. Cigarette prices and tobacco taxes tend to rise over time, so the real long-term cost is usually higher than the figures shown. Treat the multi-year totals as a conservative, present-day estimate.
The money you spend and the money you would save by stopping are the same amount. The yearly figure is roughly what quitting frees up in the first year, and the 5- and 10-year totals show the longer-term saving at current prices. Many people also redirect that money into savings or paying down debt.
No. The calculator runs entirely in your browser. The cigarette counts and prices you type are used only to compute the figures on this page and are never uploaded, stored, or shared.
