About Nappy Cost Per Year Calculator

Daily cost is nappies per day times unit price plus the daily wipes cost, then annualised over 365 days and divided by twelve for a monthly figure. At six nappies a day the annual bill is dominated by a few pence of unit price, so a small change in price per nappy moves the yearly total by a surprising amount.

Formula

Annual cost

annual = (nappies per day x price per nappy + daily wipes cost) x 365
