calculate your savings on pads

Everyone’s disposable cost per month is different, as well as everyone’s cloth pad stash varies greatly in styles and cost so the easiest way to calculate your personal savings is as follows:

Pad life expectancy: 10 years.

 

SAVINGS OVER 10 YEARS:

Amount you spend/spent on disposable pads per month x 120 (12 months x 10 years)

- total cloth purchase cost

= total savings.

If you haven’t yet purchased your pad stash, the above formulas can help give you an idea of what you would like to spend to get the greatest savings (just calculate in the cloth totals with the tentative totals you are looking at spending). It’s a great way to help you set a cloth budget.
