Formula
How the calculation works
The monthly cost multiplies packs smoked per day by the price of one pack and then by thirty days, giving a straight cash figure.
Multiplying the monthly cost by twelve gives the yearly spending, and multiplying that by the number of years shows the running total.
One pack a day at 200 taka works out to 6,000 taka a month, 72,000 taka a year and 360,000 taka across five years.
Common mistakes
- Using 30 days for every month slightly overstates the monthly figure, since the true yearly total needs 365 days rather than 360.
- Leaving out the price rise over time understates the multi-year cost, because tobacco prices usually climb each year.
When to use it
- Use it to see the yearly drain on your budget and decide whether quitting frees up money for a real goal.
- Use it in a health campaign to show the cumulative five or ten year cost of a daily habit.
Worked example
Smoking one pack a day at 200 taka a pack costs 6,000 taka a month, 72,000 taka a year and 360,000 taka over 5 years.
Common questions
Why do you use 30 days a month?
The 30 day month is a simple budgeting convention that gives a clear monthly figure, while the yearly and multi-year totals are built from that monthly amount.
