Calculation Method

The calculator uses a simple but accurate formula:

  • Cost per cigarette = Price per pack ÷ Cigarettes per pack
  • Daily cost = Cigarettes per day × Cost per cigarette
  • Weekly cost = Daily cost × 7
  • Monthly cost = Daily cost × 30.44 (average days per month)
  • Yearly cost = Daily cost × 365
  • Long-term costs = Yearly cost × number of years

Supported Currencies

  • EUR (€) - Euro
  • USD ($) - US Dollar
  • GBP (£) - British Pound
  • CHF (CHF) - Swiss Franc
  • JPY (¥) - Japanese Yen
  • CAD (C$) - Canadian Dollar
  • AUD (A$) - Australian Dollar
  • RUB (₽) - Russian Ruble

Example

If you smoke 20 cigarettes per day, with a pack price of €5.00 containing 20 cigarettes:

  • Daily cost: €5.00
  • Weekly cost: €35.00
  • Monthly cost: €152.20
  • Yearly cost: €1,825.00
  • 5 years cost: €9,125.00
