Quit Smoking Savings Calculator
The money and cigarettes you have saved since you quit, and what a year saves.
Good to know. Every day without them counts. The money is just the part that is easiest to count.
How it works
In plain words
Count the days since you quit, multiply by the cigarettes you used to smoke a day, and turn them into packs at the price of a pack.
The formula
cigarettes not smoked = days × per day saved = cigarettes ÷ pack size × pack price
Worked example
Quitting on 1 January after 15 a day, by 15 March you have gone 73 days and 1,095 cigarettes without: about 55 packs, or 547.50 saved at 10.00 a pack. A whole year saves 2,737.50.

About the quit smoking savings calculator
Stopping smoking is one of the best things anyone can do for their health, and the benefits begin within days and keep growing for years. The money is a smaller reward, but it is easy to see, and watching it add up helps on the hard days.
This calculator counts from your quit date: the days you have been smoke-free, the cigarettes you would have smoked at your old rate, and what they would have cost. Prices rise most years, so the real saving is usually a little more than shown.
Many people put the money aside, in a jar or a separate savings account, and spend it on something they wanted. A year of saving at 15 a day is a holiday or a new bike.
If you slip, it isn’t the end: most people who quit for good tried more than once. Free support from a stop-smoking service, a quitline or your doctor, and medication or nicotine replacement, make success several times more likely than willpower alone. To see what the money would grow into, use the compound interest calculator.
