Sobriety Calculator
Count your sober days and the money you've saved, and see your next recovery milestones.
About the Sobriety Calculator
Enter the date you stopped, plus what you used to spend and how many drinks or uses a day, if you'd like to see them. The calculator counts your days, months and years, the money saved, what you've avoided, and the date of each milestone ahead.
Tracking time in recovery can be a powerful motivator. Many groups mark milestones at 24 hours, 30, 60 and 90 days, 6 months and each year. If you need support, talk to a doctor, or contact SAMHSA's free helpline (1-800-662-4357) in the US, or your local alcohol and drug services.
The formula
Days = today − sobriety date; saved = days × daily spend
Worked example
Sober since 1 January 2026, checked on 11 November 2026, previously spending 15 a day on 4 drinks
- 314 days, about 10 months
- Saved: 314 × 15 = 4,710; avoided: 314 × 4 = 1,256 drinks
- Next milestone: 1 year, on 1 January 2027

Heavy drinkers can have dangerous withdrawal; get medical advice first.
