Annual cost = packs per week × price per pack × 52 + other monthly tobacco spending × 12. Projected cost = annual cost × years.
This estimate isolates direct purchase spending and helps show the scale of a recurring habit.
It excludes health-care costs, insurance effects, and future price or tax changes.
Given: 5 packs per week at $10 each, no other tobacco purchases, over 10 years. Calculation: 5 × $10 × 52 = $2,600 per year; $2,600 × 10 = $26,000. Result: the direct ten-year purchase cost is $26,000.
Yes. Convert the habit to a weekly purchase quantity and enter the average unit price, or use the monthly-other field.
No. It holds your entered spending level constant throughout the period.
Use it for accessories, replacement devices, or purchases not captured by packs per week.
The calculator measures spending only and does not assess health risk or treatment needs.
Compare the current projection with a reduced or zero-purchase scenario.
