Shop Fitbit Inspire 3About the Quit Smoking Savings Calculator
The Quit Smoking Savings Calculator shows how much money you spend on cigarettes — and how much you can save by quitting. Simply enter how many cigarettes you smoke per day, how many are in a pack, and the price per pack. The tool will instantly estimate your daily, monthly, and yearly spending, as well as total savings since your quit date.
Smoking doesn’t just affect your health — it quietly drains your finances. A pack-a-day habit can cost several thousand dollars a year. By quitting, you can redirect that money toward fitness goals, travel, investments, or debt-free living. Seeing the numbers makes the benefits of quitting tangible and motivating.
The calculator is meant to help you visualize both the financial gain and the health progress that come with a smoke-free lifestyle. Even one day without cigarettes is a win — and every week compounds the savings.
