Setting a realistic daily amount

Not sure where to start? Cost your usual breakfast, lunch and dinner with the daily food cost calculator, then use that figure here. Results are estimates — they don't include eating out, drinks or household items unless you add them.

Frequently asked questions

Why can food prices vary between shops?

Prices change with retailer, brand, pack size, location, promotions and date. That's why the calculator uses the prices you enter rather than fixed figures.

Can I use different currencies?

Yes. Choose GBP, USD, EUR, CAD or AUD from the currency menu. This only changes the symbol — we don't convert prices, as you enter your own.

What's a normal food budget?

It varies hugely by household, diet, location and shop, so we don't assume one. Cost a few typical meals to find a realistic daily figure for you.
