You need 13 rolls for 30 days.

  • Each person in your household uses about 108 sheets per day, which is 1.5 rolls per person per week.
  • That works out to roughly 6.5 rolls per person for the 30-day period.
  • Buying 2 packs gives you 11 extra rolls as buffer.

Next stepRounding up to a full pack is always wise. Keep one pack in reserve so you never run out unexpectedly.
