Uncover Your Hidden Savings Potential

Do you ever wonder where your money goes? Small, everyday expenses—like a morning coffee, a daily lunch special, or monthly subscriptions—can feel insignificant on their own. But over time, they create significant financial leaks that drain your budget. This tool is designed for anyone looking to take control of their finances by visualizing the true long-term cost of these recurring habits. Stop guessing and start seeing the real numbers to unlock substantial savings and achieve your financial goals faster.

How to Use the Calculator

1. Add Your Habits: Click the "+ Add Another Habit" button for each recurring expense you want to track. Think beyond the obvious—include everything from daily snacks to monthly streaming services.
2. Enter Cost & Frequency: For each habit, type in a descriptive name (e.g., "Morning Latte"), its exact cost, and how often the expense occurs using the dropdown menu.
3. See Your Total Impact: Press the "Calculate Total Impact" button. The calculator will instantly reveal the combined cost of all your habits over a week, a month, a year, and even a decade.

Our Calculation Method: To ensure accuracy, all costs are normalized to a daily average. Monthly costs are calculated using 30.417 days (the average length of a month over a year), and annual costs use 365 days.
