Formula Used

The calculator uses the following formula to calculate your savings:

Savings = (Cigarettes per day × Price per pack ÷ Cigarettes per pack) × 365 × Years

Where:

Cigarettes per day = Number of cigarettes you smoke each day
Price per pack = Cost of one pack of cigarettes
Cigarettes per pack = Number of cigarettes in one pack
Years = Number of years you plan to quit smoking

This formula calculates your daily cigarette cost, then multiplies it by the number of days in a year (365) and your quit period in years to get your total savings.

Worked Example

Let's say you smoke 20 cigarettes a day, buy packs that cost $10 each, and each pack contains 20 cigarettes. If you quit smoking for 5 years:

Daily cost = 20 × ($10 ÷ 20) = $1 per day Annual savings = $1 × 365 = $365 per year Total savings = $365 × 5 = $1,825

So you would save $1,825 over 5 years by quitting smoking.

Tips for Saving More

In addition to the money you save by quitting smoking, here are some tips to help you save even more:

Use the money you save to invest in your future
Consider joining a smoking cessation program for additional support
Take up a new hobby that costs money to help you stay motivated
