Alcohol Cost Calculator
Calculate weekly, monthly, and yearly alcohol spending.
What does alcohol cost you?
Enter your typical alcohol spending to calculate the weekly, monthly, annual, and five-year financial cost.
Formula used
Period cost = average daily alcohol spending × number of days. Convert irregular purchases into a weekly total, then divide by seven for a stable daily average.
Worked example
An average of 25 twice per week is 50 weekly, about 217 per average month, and 2,600 per year.
Make the result more accurate
Review at least four weeks of bank transactions and include drinks bought with meals, delivery charges, transport, and event spending only when you want them in scope.
