How the Calculations Work
Your weekly cost is tins per week multiplied by the price of one tin. The calculator divides that by 7 to get a daily cost, then projects it across 1 week, 1 month (30.4 days), 1 year, 5 years, and 10 years. Tins avoided per year is your weekly count spread across 365 days.
Smoke cigarettes as well, or instead? The quit smoking savings calculator works in cigarettes per day and pack price, and adds the life expectancy you stop losing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate the cost of chewing tobacco?
Multiply the tins (cans) you use in a week by the price of one tin. That is your weekly cost. Divide by 7 for a day, then multiply by 365 for a year. The calculator above does this and projects 5 and 10 years.
How much does chewing tobacco cost per year?
Five tins a week at $7 a tin costs about $1,825 a year and $18,250 over ten years. A tin a day at the same price comes to about $2,555 a year. Prices vary a lot by brand and state, so use your own.
Does this calculator work for dip, snuff, snus, and pouches?
Yes, as long as you buy it by the tin, can, or pouch tin. Enter how many you go through in a week and what one costs. For cigarettes, use the quit smoking savings calculator, which works in packs.
Why does it not show life regained?
The minutes-of-life figure used for cigarettes comes from smoking studies. There is no comparable per-tin estimate for chewing tobacco, so this calculator shows money and tins avoided only.
