How it works
The calculation starts from your daily cost. It divides the number of cigarettes you smoke per day by the number of cigarettes in a pack to work out how many packs you get through, then multiplies that by the price of a pack: daily cost = cigarettes per day ÷ cigarettes per pack × pack price. For example, 10 cigarettes a day from a 20-pack costing 5 means half a pack a day, or 2.50 per day. From that daily figure the tool scales up the other periods: the weekly cost multiplies it by 7, the monthly cost by 30.44 (the average days in a month) and the yearly cost by 365.25 (accounting for leap years). The ten-year total is simply the yearly cost multiplied by ten, giving you a long-term view of the habit.

Preguntas frecuentes
- How is the cost of smoking calculated?
- The tool works out your daily cost as cigarettes per day ÷ cigarettes per pack × pack price, then scales it up: weekly is × 7, monthly is × 30.44, yearly is × 365.25 and ten years is the yearly cost × 10. This keeps every period consistent with an accurate number of days.
- Why use 30.44 days for a month and 365.25 for a year?
- A month is not exactly 30 days, so the average of 30.44 (365.25 ÷ 12) gives a fairer monthly figure. The year uses 365.25 to account for the extra day added roughly every four years in a leap year, so long-term totals are not understated.
- Does this include the hidden costs of smoking?
- No, it only counts the price of the cigarettes themselves. The real cost of smoking is often higher once you factor in things like dental care, higher insurance premiums, lost productivity and healthcare. Those extras make the true figure larger than what you see here.
- How much could I save by quitting?
- Your potential savings are exactly the amounts shown. If you quit today, the yearly and ten-year figures are money that stays in your pocket instead of going up in smoke — often enough for a holiday, a large purchase or a solid start to your savings.
- What currency does the calculator use?
- It is currency-neutral: enter the pack price in whatever currency you use and every result appears in that same currency. Just be consistent — if the price is in euros, all the daily, monthly and yearly figures are in euros too.
