How quit smoking savings are calculated
The money you save by quitting is the direct drop in spending now that you no longer buy cigarettes. The formula is savings = packs per day x price per pack x smoke-free days, and because a pack holds 20 cigarettes, cigarettes not smoked = packs per day x 20 x smoke-free days.
| Smoke-free period | Savings | Cigarettes not smoked |
|---|---|---|
| 1 week (7 days) | $56 | 140 |
| 1 month (30 days) | $240 | 600 |
| 100 days | $800 | 2,000 |
| 1 year (365 days) | $2,920 | 7,300 |
| 10 years | $29,200 | 73,000 |
Quitting just 1 pack a day adds up to about $2,920 in a year and over $29,000 in 10 years. To see how much smoking costs you each year before you quit, try the cigarette cost calculator for yearly and lifetime spending, and compare the impact of cutting alcohol too with the quit drinking savings calculator.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
How do you calculate quit smoking savings?
Quit smoking savings = packs per day x price per pack x smoke-free days. For example, someone who smoked 1 pack a day ($8) and has been smoke-free for 100 days saves 1 x 8 x 100 = $800.
How do you work out cigarettes not smoked?
A pack holds 20 cigarettes, so cigarettes not smoked = packs per day x 20 x smoke-free days. At 1 pack a day for 100 days, that is 1 x 20 x 100 = 2,000 cigarettes not smoked.
What price per pack should I enter?
A pack of cigarettes averages around $8 in the US, but prices vary widely by state and brand (roughly $6 to $12+). Enter the price you actually paid for a more accurate result. Because prices change, this is an editable default.
How do I enter half a pack or 1.5 packs?
You can enter packs as decimals. Use 0.5 for half a pack a day or 1.5 for a pack and a half. To count by the cigarette, divide the number you smoked by 20 and enter that value.
Are this calculator's savings accurate?
If you enter the pack price and amount accurately, the savings are exact because it is simple multiplication. However, it is an estimate that excludes extras like lighters and snacks plus health and insurance savings, so your real savings may be even larger.
