Your tube lasts 180 days.

  • Your tube will last about 180.0 days (25.7 weeks) at this usage rate.
  • Your household of 1 person will go through roughly 2.0 tubes per year.
  • That works out to about $10.14 per year on toothpaste.
  • Using one pea-sized amount instead of a full brush-head load could save you around $30.42 per year.

Next stepYou are following dental best-practice guidelines: brushing at least twice daily with an appropriate amount. Your main lever for savings is choosing a larger tube, which usually has a lower cost per mL.
