How this works
Base quantities are estimated per person per month. Prices are 2025 Indian market averages. City multipliers adjust for local cost of living differences. Non-veg budget includes meat and eggs but reduces vegetable spending. Vegan budget replaces dairy with plant-based alternatives. Household items (cleaning, personal care) are included as flat costs.
Frequently asked questions
- How much does one person spend on groceries per month in India?
- Typically ₹2,800 to ₹4,400 a month per person, depending on your city and diet. Tier-2 cities run lower, Mumbai and Bangalore run higher — this calculator uses real city multipliers to estimate your own number.
- Does this calculator account for city cost differences?
- Yes. Prices are adjusted for Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi, Hyderabad, Pune, Chennai, Kolkata, and Tier-2 cities, each with its own multiplier based on typical local grocery prices.
- Does it work for vegetarian, non-vegetarian, and vegan diets?
- Yes. Switch between veg, non-veg, and vegan and the item list and prices update — eggs and chicken drop out for veg/vegan, dairy drops out for vegan, plant milk and tofu are added instead.
- Is this grocery budget calculator free, and do I need to sign up?
- It's completely free with no signup. If you want to track and split actual grocery spending with flatmates or family, Niptao (also free) logs it and settles it via UPI.
