Learn how to use the Food Budget Calculator calculator and its working principles

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter your household size (number of people in your household)
  2. Input your monthly income in dollars
  3. Select your food preference from the dropdown menu (Budget, Moderate, or Luxury)
  4. Click the "Calculate" button to see your estimated monthly food budget

Understanding the Formula

The calculator uses the following formula to estimate your food budget:

Budget = Monthly Income × Food Percentage

Where:
- Monthly Income is your total monthly income after taxes
- Food Percentage varies based on your food preference:
• Budget: 15% of income
• Moderate: 25% of income
• Luxury: 35% of income

Example

If your household has 4 people, your monthly income is $3,000, and you selected "Moderate" food preference, your estimated monthly food budget would be:

$3,000 × 0.25 = $750

Which equals approximately $25 per day per person.
