Dating Cost Calculator (yearly & total cost of a relationship)

How it works

Yearly cost = dates per month × cost per date × 12 + special days × their cost + gifts × average gift + trips × trip cost + other monthly costs × 12. “Spent so far” multiplies today’s yearly pace by the years together, so it is an estimate. Prices are kept constant (no inflation).

FAQ

How can we keep dating costs down?

Regular dates are usually the biggest part because they repeat. Alternating paid dates with free ones (walks, cooking at home, free events) cuts the yearly total more than skipping one gift.

Should couples split costs 50:50?

Many couples split by income instead, or keep a shared “date account” that both pay into each month. Pick what feels fair to both of you and enter your share.
