Vaping Spend Calculator
Vaping spend is pods (or disposables) times the price you pay, stretched across a week, a month and a year. It is a cost sketch, not a harm ranking and not a quit plan. Nicotine advice stays with the NHS and your clinician.
Your details
Enter pods per week and the price you actually pay per pod.
What is this calculator?
Vaping spend is pods (or disposables) times the price you pay, stretched across a week, a month and a year. It is a cost sketch, not a harm ranking and not a quit plan. Nicotine advice stays with the NHS and your clinician.
How it works
- Count pods or disposables you finish in a typical week.
- Enter the price of one, in pounds.
- Read week, month and year. Compare with the smoking cost calculator if you used to buy cigarettes.
Common questions
What is the vaping spend calculator?
It estimates weekly, monthly and yearly vape pod costs from the numbers you type. It does not judge nicotine use.
Does this include liquid and coils?
Only if you fold them into the pod price. Refill kits need an honest average per week.
Is vaping cheaper than smoking?
Often, but brands vary. Use this page and the smoking cost calculator with your real prices.
Can this help me quit?
It can make the yearly figure visible. Quit support is an NHS service, not this form.
Example scenarios

2 pods, £4.50 each
£9.00 a week, about £39.10 a month, £468.00 a year.
Understanding your results
If the yearly figure stings, try the same form with one fewer pod. Health questions about nicotine belong with a GP or an NHS stop-smoking service, not with a cost total.
