FAQ
What’s a good default for “weeks per year”?
46–48 works for most people (vacations + holidays). If you rarely take breaks, use 52.
Does the calculator store my data?
No data is sent anywhere. This embed stores your last inputs in your browser only (localStorage) for convenience.
Why show “5-year total”?
Because habits compound. Lunch spending is easy to ignore until you see it over time.
I bring lunch sometimes — what should I enter?
Use your average paid lunches per week (e.g., 3). Then try scenarios like 2 or 4 to see the difference.
